This post is for all of my running friends. I would like to ask you to join Light of Life’s 2015 Pittsburgh Marathon team. All of the details about joining our team are found below in this post.
If you are a runner, this is an awesome opportunity to not only run a great race, but to raise money for a great cause. If you have never run for a charity, I would encourage you to try it. It will be one of the most fulfilling things you will do.
Join our 2015 Pittsburgh Marathon Team
(our 2013 Light of Life Marathon team)
Here is all of the information you need to know:
Light of Life is an official charity of the Pittsburgh Marathon. That means that you can choose to run any of the Pittsburgh Marathon races for Light of Life and we will pay for your registration fee. In return, you commit to raising money for us.
In 2013, we had 39 runners raise over $25,000 for Light of Life. In 2014, we had 76 runners raise over $76,000. We would LOVE it if you ran for our marathon team this year.
Our goal this year is to recruit 150 runners and raise over $100,000.
Registration will open Monday, September 22nd at 12:01 a.m.
If you are afraid of raising money, I can promise you that the fundraising is easier than you think! I raised over $14,000 last year simply by sending bi-weekly e-mails and updating social media. I will provide you with all of the resources you need to raise money.
