Swags for raffle!
First of all, I appreciate any amount of donation. As I said, $45 donation will give a pair of shoes to a kid, and I'd like to offer some swags for raffle as my appreciation and an incentive you to donate. For each $25+, you'll get one ticket for drawing. But if you donate $45, you'll get TWO tickets! If you donate $75, three tickets, and $100, FOUR tickets plus you make two kids so happy!
So far I have the following swags; however, I'm hoping to add more (I'm working on it!).
* New hand held massage gun
* $50 Sacramento Kings Store Gift Certificate
* Target Gift Card
* Two Bottles of Wine from my Wine Club in Paso Robles (so yummy!)
Hi thank you for clicking the link!
As you know I have been running for more than 17 years and have been a part of running communities to train for different races.
I am honored to say that I am now a member of Runnin’ for Rhett (R4R), a local non-profit in the Sacramento area. Runnin’ for Rhett is focused on the vision to give every child the chance to live a healthy life. Runnin’ for Rhett’s mission is to inspire and enable our youth to Move Into Life through an after-school youth fitness program. The youth fitness program trains and educates students on the value, benefits, and fun associated with adopting a healthy lifestyle.
My personal goal is to raise $1350 ($45 x 30 pairs of shoes) for the Big Day Of Giving, which will go directly to R4R in support of its Youth Fitness Program. $45 donation will give a new pair of shoes to a child, and $42 donation will support a child for Youth Program.
Now, more than ever, it is important that we give our community’s children the opportunity to be connected and stay fit. During this season of our Youth Fitness Program, we will see over 3,000 students complete their training and cross the finish line of the Run Because You Can 5K on 4/27/25. Twice each year Runnin’ for Rhett works with both boys and girls, and we fully fund the largest after-school youth fitness program in Northern California. In the past two years, I have been a volunteer coach at participating schools, and this year my school got free pairs of shoes for each participant!
Each participating school takes part in a six week, twice-a-week after school training program that includes a coach, a program shirt, program “swag,” and a timed entry into our 5K race. Upon completion of their race, the students are awarded with a special finisher’s medal. During their training, our coaches and staff educate the youth on the value, benefits, and fun associated with adopting a healthy lifestyle, and we invite you to take part in their success.
Our goal is to LET RHETT’S STORY INSPIRE those who feel defeated, UPLIFT those who feel down and ENCOURAGE ALL TO take that first step and MOVE INTO LIFE. The funds you offer as support will help us continue to grow and fund more children in our Youth Fitness Program.
I thank you in advance for supporting this incredible need. I’ll keep you posted on how my fundraising campaign goes. For now, I am grateful for your friendship and support.
