Run for Africa's Youth
The UNITE Foundation is excited to announce the launch of its "Run for Africa's Youth!" We are organizing a team of 30 runners to participate in the George Washington Parkway Classic 10-mile and 5k race. Each member of the team will seek sponsors among their family, friends and co-workers to help raise enough funds to send one young person to Camp UNITE in Togo, West Africa.
This year's race follows the success of our first charity run held back in the spring of 2010. The UNITE Foundation partnered with the running club at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and formed a team to compete in both the 2010 Cherry Blossom Festival race and the GW Parkway Classic. With the support of our runners and their generous sponsors, The UNITE Foundation was able to raise $5,000!!
This year, we're confident our team will be able to reach the $5,000 fundraising goal once again. If you would like to support or join this year's team, please visit the Run for Africa's Youth section of our website for more information!
