What We Do
Running
For A Reason is a Nevada nonprofit corporation founded by Marc Gohres who saw
an opportunity to combine his passion for running with the desire to help
others. The organization was founded to encourage runners to participate in
raising money for charitable causes during athletic events. We then encourage
our donors and participants to be active in the selection of charities and
organizations we support.
Running For
A Reason has been granted status as a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization and is composed primarily of volunteers who plan,
organize and assist fundraisers at running and other athletic events.
Mission Statement
Running
For A Reason was founded to encourage runners to participate in raising money
for charitable causes at
running and other athletic events. We
believe that these athletes share our values and beliefs that together we can
make a difference. Our vision is to make a difference in the lives of others
less fortunate than ourselves.
We
encourage athletes to commit to a goal of raising money every time they
participate in an event. With these contributions we will diligently distribute
money to organizations and causes that our participants help us choose. We strive to make this organization
among the most highly respected of its kind, locally and nationally in both
ethics, overhead and accountability.
Running
For A Reason supports
the advancement of running and all athletic activities as an element of a
balanced, healthy lifestyle. We support people, organizations, projects and
ideas that promote an understanding of, access to and/or participation in
exercise as part of a balanced lifestyle and physical fitness regimen. We Run For A Reason.
Our Simple Vision
$26.20 for
a Marathon, $13.10 for a half.
It’s
Simple. Raise a dollar a mile. Ask your mom, ask a friend, who can’t get
pledges for a dollar a mile?
Our
strength is in our numbers. 17,300 people ran the Los Angeles Marathon in 2008.
If we got
half of those people to commit to $1 a mile, we would have raised almost a
quarter million dollars in just one event.
The key is
YOU. We need YOU! Help us help others. Run for a reason!
