Reason to Run’s “100-1000 Challenge”

If 1000 people, businesses, groups or organizations each donate $100, we’ll reach our fund-raising goal to facilitate life-saving pediatric cancer research.

Don’t have $100? Make a group donation of money you collect at your office, or sell raffle tickets. Be creative, and let us know what worked for you so that we can share it with others. Each person who donates or raises $100 will be entered in our grand prize drawing.

Share the word with others so that more kids will have a chance!

Goodie bags will be distributed at the end of the race so that you don’t have to return to your car.
