What: Support a charity by registering for their run/walk. It's a fun and healthy way to give back to the community. And as a bonus you will probably get a tee shirt and finisher's medal.


How:

  • Due to covid restrictions, many races can be done virtually, so the race doesn't even have to be in your area.

  • Send a letter out to friends and family and have them sponsor you.

  • You can create a team to get more people to do the event with you.

Where: The Runner's Edge in Boca has a list of events that benefit local charities: https://www.facebook.com/runnersedgeboca/events?ref=page_internal

You can also find local races through Accuchip Timing which is the company that does the race timing: https://www.accuchiptiming.com/index.php/event-calendar-5/month.calendar/2022/02/10/-

Many large and medium sized non-profits have run/walks for fundraising. Check their websites, or look on websites like Active.com that list races and you can search in your area:

About SASHA

I am currently a High School Student.  Since I was in 5th grade, I have done a lot of community service geared towards helping kids through my family’s non-profit. I have participated in and led many different types of events and programs. Friends and classmates have often asked me for ideas about where to volunteer or how to run a community service program. I thought it would be useful to put my experiences and suggestions all in one place so people can find things that interest them.

Any questions?
