When you join the United Way RUNNING TEAM you can give hope, help, and access to a better tomorrow to thousands of people in need who are struggling to have a better life.
Because when a child succeeds in school, when people are healthy and when families are financially stable, we ALL win!
We invite you to join United Way Running Team as a supporter: volunteers, runners and fundraisers are welcome!
We are happy that United Way Romania is one of the charitable partners at the most important running events in Bucharest, organized by the Bucharest Running Club Association:
By becoming a member of our running team, besides the personal health benefits and enjoying the race, your contribution means access to social services to thousands of people in need: children from vulnerable families, adults and elderly who depend on social support. Through Education, Health and Income projects, United Way helps over 6500 people in need every year.
In 2012, the funds raised by the 32 runners from the United Way Running team were transformed in a hot meal per day, for a month, to 43 children from low income families that we help throughout the year in our Education projects.
To make sure everybody interested to volunteer, run and fundraise for United Way enjoys the experience, we will offer support with training and fundraising. See the attached Information pack.pdf, it contains all the information you need in order to join us!
