Fundraising Opportunity

One way you can get the community involved and raise funds for the program, is by allowing your community’s race participants to donate money towards Ready, Set, Run! Add an option to your race registration (5k, half-marathon, marathon) where participants can select a monetary amount which will go towards the RSR program. The money can go towards participant registration, facility costs & other overhead, race registration, etc. Be sure to explain the program and how the funds will be used. Here are a few examples:

Add a small donation to your registration, make a BIG difference. Ready, Set, Run! is a youth running program that takes kids through a character development curriculum while training them to complete a 5k run. Your donation will go to the registration fees for kids in OUR community to participate. ___ Yes, please add ($5, $10, $25) to my registration fee

Help a kid participate in this race! By donating ($5, $10, $25) in addition to your race registration fee, you will enable a child in the community to participate in this race. Our community hosted a Ready, Set, Run! program where kids trained to complete a 5k, your donation will help them complete their goal.

Become a HERO. By donating ($5, $10, $25) in addition to your race registration, you will enable kids in your community to participate in Ready, Set, Run: a national youth running program that covers character issues and prepares kids to complete a 5k. You donation will go towards the program costs: registration, overhead, and race fees. Be a HERO, get kids running!
