The Make A Wish Trailblaze Challenge
In their own words, the Make a Wish Trailblaze Challenge is the most rewarding thing you’ll do all year! It’s an endurance hiking event that raises money to help children fighting critical illnesses. But for participants, it’s more than just a race - it’s a journey! You're not just helping fundraising efforts, you’re proving to yourself and to the children that we are all stronger and more resilient than we ever could have imagined. Overcoming the challenge means hiking almost 30 miles - a difficult feat even for the most experienced outdoorsman - and giving hope and strength to the children in most need.
We recently created a series of Make a Wish Foundation pins for a Trailblazer Challenge in California, and hope that each one serves as a powerful reminder of the adventure and achievement!
Pins Designed to Inspire Hope
Trailblaze Challenges are taking place all over the country - a quick search online will help you find one nearby - which is wonderful for anyone interested in participating. The pins we designed are specifically for the Trailblaze Challenge in San Diego, CA. The Make A Wish Foundation organized the San Diego challenge and accomplished their goal of raising $950,000 this year! For anyone interested in getting involved, the steps are easy!
The design of these Make a Wish lapel pins is as intentional as the event itself! The Make a Wish logo, along with the Trailblaze Challenge logo give these pins a design that’s immediately recognizable. The artwork is also reminiscent of the physical route taken by hikers in San Diego during the event. Completing the Trailblaze Challenge means hiking almost 30 miles, so we wanted to make sure each pin is a symbol of accomplishment and a source of inspiration to get involved in future events!
Creating Something More than Just a Pin
At the heart of the Trailblaze Challenge, custom lapel pins are more than just a keepsake - they’re a symbol of hope. They represent the connection between participants and the children they are helping, reminding hikers of the real impact they make. As the pins are handed out, we want there to be a sense of pierce, not just for completing the journey, but for being part of something bigger - bringing joy to a child who needs it most!
Here at Signature Pins, we’re been honored to create custom pins for the Make a Wish Foundation and countless other important causes. Our goal is alway to help capture a sense of strength, unity, and hope that will inspire your team and spread your message. If you have an idea for a custom fundraiser pin, send us your ideas! We’re excited to be a part of your journey!
