There are three ways to earn points for donations through BeeWell for Life:
- You can log miles for walking, running or riding your bike. Each mile earns 3 points.
- You can record your calorie intake using our calorie tracker. You earn 4 points each day you log your calories consumed, but you can only earn points by logging your calories consumed once per day.
- You can complete wellness challenges such as “learn how to do a self-exam for breast cancer” or “add an extra serving of vegetables to your dinner today.” Each time you complete a challenge, you earn 3 points.
Each day you can log a maximum of up to 20 miles for walking, 30 miles for running, or 100 miles for biking.
Each mile is worth 3 points. A point is worth $0.10 in donations towards your selected cause, so each mile raises $0.30.
Note that if you logged miles during January and February, before the start of our new program, they have been added to your annual total as 1 point each ($0.10). Starting with the new program in March, Bumble Bee has increased the value of miles to 3 points each ($0.10 per point = $0.30 total per mile).
You can select one or up to all three of our partner causes to earn donations for when you register. If you select more than one cause, your points earned will be divided equally among the causes. You can change your choice of cause(s) at any time by going to the My Profile page.
In the event that the $12,500 monthly donation maximum is reached, users and causes will continue to accumulate points but this will not result in additional donations. They will be able to earn additional donations beginning the following month.

You can use our Calorie Tracker on your Dashboard Page. You’ll earn 4 points when you log calories, but you can only earn points for logging calories once per day.
Monthly Rollover Bonuses are an exciting opportunity to earn more donations for your preferred cause(s).
By accumulating points, BeeWell participants can collectively earn up $12,500 each month for all three causes combined. However, if the maximum of $12,500 is not reached, the remainder will be up for grabs the following month as the Monthly Rollover Bonus. The charity with the most points for that next month earns it all.
For example, if participants collectively earn $8,000 for the month of January, the remaining $4,500 would be available in February as the Monthly Rollover Bonus. The cause that earns the most points during the month of February would earn the entire $4,500 in addition to what they normally earn with their points. So keep logging your miles, logging your calories consumed, and completing wellness challenges, to help your cause earn more!
