The Fresh Air Fund
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Back in July, we posted The Fresh Air Fund’s call for runners and sponsors to join their Fresh Air Fund-Racers Team for the NYC Half Marathon. Through a pretty aggressive guerilla campaign (social media, blogs and emails) it looks like they accomplished what they set out to do.
With the help of all those who stepped up for this great cause, here are the fruits of your efforts:
- Nearly 8,000 children enjoyed their best summers yet
- 370 students participated in the Career Awareness Program
- 11 counselors-in-training spent three days on the Appalachian Trail
- 168 young people were Leaders-in-training
It seems that the fundraising efforts for non-profits are limitless when it comes to big running events. Check out the website of your next event and check out the official charity for the event. There are more than likely multiple levels of involvement you can participate in.
