Mission Statement

 

Running For A Reason was founded to encourage runners to participate in raising money for charitable causes during running 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 runners 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.

 

Running For A Reason supports the advancement of running 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 running as part of a 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 $26.20 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!
