Run4LifeIndy Announces Mini-Marathon Haiti Relief Campaign
Hitting the ground running…
(January 22nd, 2010) Indianapolis, IN –
In response to the current crisis in Haiti, Run4LifeIndy has set a goal to raise a minimum of $13,100 within 100 days prior to the 13.1 mile OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon. Fundraising will begin Saturday January 23rd and will continue through Saturday May 8th. All contributions will be donated directly to the Northwest Haiti Christian Mission. The Run4LifeIndy brand identity and website design were donated by Indy Web Design. Twitter and Facebook pages have also been set up where participants and supporters of the cause may join the Run4LifeIndy team in this effort.
The Run4LifeIndy Mini-Marathon Haiti Relief Campaign will include sponsored t-shirts which will be available for a minimum $20 donation. Run4LifeIndy has also partnered with Scotty’s Brewhouse to host a Pre-Mini Pasta Dinner at the downtown Indianapolis location on May 7th at 6:00 pm. Scotty’s has offered to donate a percentage of the proceeds from this event to the cause and will also be accepting donations at the host stations of their north-side and downtown locations throughout the campaign. The Run4LifeIndy team will host additional upcoming events and activities to be announced at a later date.
Run4LifeIndy was founded as a fund raising campaign to benefit the less fortunate. Co-founders Brooke Randolph and Suzanne Zaleski are participating in this year’s OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon on May 8th and wanted to create a way to combine this effort with obtaining charitable contributions. Run4LifeIndy plans to work with additional philanthropic organizations in combination with future events including the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon in November 2010.
Run4LifeIndy connects fitness with opportunities for charitable fundraising in pursuit of well being for all people. Please contact Run4LifeIndy if you would like additional information or are interested in joining the Mini-Marathon Haiti Relief Campaign as a participant, supporter, or sponsor.
