6th Annual Elizabeth Frankel Waymakers Virtual Mileage Challenge
September 1 – 30, 2026
Challenge Overview

We are thrilled to announce the 6th annual Elizabeth Frankel Waymakers Virtual Mileage Challenge! This year’s Waymakers Challenge directly supports the Young Center’s rapid response advocacy mobilizing action across courtrooms, Congress, and communities to protect immigrant children from family separation, prolonged detention, and deportation.
All sponsors have the opportunity to raise awareness of the issues impacting immigrant youth while gaining national exposure within the Young Center community, which spans all 50 states with concentrated support in our 9 regions of operation: New York/New Jersey,Los Angeles, Chicago, Michigan, Washington DC, Phoenix, Houston, San Antonio, and on the border in Harlingen, TX.
Together, we can meet this critical moment for immigrant children and families. Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to partnering with you to champion the rights and best interests of immigrant youth, making sure that wherever they land, their voices are heard, and they are safe, free from detention, and with family in community
