3. What Does Pledging to the Run Mean, Exactly?

By committing to this event, and pledging to raise money for its success, you are helping raise invaluable funds to raise awareness for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, help fund SIDS research, and help families in need with burial and service cost after the death of an infant..

 

We are dedicated to helping find a cause for SIDS, and proceeds raised from the Run For Hope will allow us to build on the already needed platform for assistance after the death of a child. With your support, we can make a difference and teach people in our community what Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is, and hopefully  find a cause.

 

We wish you all the success possible. Train, set and achieve new goals, enjoy the race… and get all the sponsors you can, so when you cross that finish line, we will all be winners !

 

4. How can my sponsors submit payment?

Online contributions can be made by credit card on the runner’s personalized page found on this website. Just make sure to tell your sponsors to select your name from the list of runners. 

 

5. I am concerned that I might not be able to raise the required funds. Will I be able to do it?

Even if you've never raised money before, our materials and strategies will make it easy for you to solicit and collect sponsorships from friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and others. Experience has shown that it is not only possible, but enjoyable, to set and reach your goals. Please refer to the sample letters found on your personal fundraising page center, that explains the programs the Run For Hope supports, and you will be surprised to see how quickly friends, family, and co-workers will respond to your request to help this wonderful cause. Just remember to make it personal as well, as you want them to know that they are sponsoring YOU and YOUR efforts! And, as many companies offer charitable donation matching programs, make sure to ask your sponsors to check with their employers, as it will help you meet your goal ever more quickly.

Absolutely! It might take a little training and coaching, but many of our participants are first-timer runners. Whether you are a novice, signed up for our 5K run/walk we will be here to inspire you every step of the way.
