Spread the word:
Tell your friends, neighbors, and co-workers about the race. Also, you can follow these links to print out a flyer to post at your office, gym, or local coffee shop or a tri-fold with more information and a registration form!
Register to run or walk and raise pledges:
Your entry fee alone is a great help, but if you would like to do more, ask family and friends to sponsor your run/walk. Give them a sponsor information sheet, either two sided or one sided, so they can think about how much they can help, then check back with them. Collect their sponsor forms and money, and track your sponsorships on the sponsorship log. When you're ready, register for the race online or using the mail-in registration form.
Increase your impact through Facebook:
It's easy to raise pledges through your Facebook page. Click this link http://www.facebook.com/login.php?api_key=6d2260a6bd147942870329e8b2dbd1f0&v=1.0&canvas to add a donation button to your Facebook page. Your friends can click on it and make a donation of any size on-line through Active.com, and their donation will be credited to your account. For every $20 you raise, your entry fee decreases by $5. Raise $100, and it's free. Raise $150 and get a high-quality technical fiber running shirt with a breast-pocket size RFR logo.
Make a donation:
If you're not able to participate in person, you can sponsor someone who is -- or just make a donation on-line at http://www.active.com/donate/runforrwanda. If you'd prefer, you may mail a check to the address below. Please designate which of the following programs you would like your donation to be applied toward.
Sponsorships and donations help impoverished Rwandans in three ways.
-
The purchase of livestock will provide food, fertilizer, and future income for families.
-
Since government-funded school in Rwanda is only through 6th grade, scholarships are crucial to the continued education of Kibali’s youth.
-
But the biggest need in the community is for a health clinic. The community is working hard to complete a multi-phase clinic with an infirmary, maternity ward, and HIV/AIDS and hospital wings.
100% of your entry fees and sponsorships will help fund these effective programs which offer long term, life changing solutions.
Send your registration form, sponsorship log, sponsorship forms, and checks to:
