Run for a Reason

Make those 6 a.m. runs count for something this season. With GiveForward you can raise money for any cause that you care about by participating in Run for a Reason. We’re so excited to be a part of the Chicago Half Marathon and 5K on September 13th, and have set our goal for this Run for a Reason to have 200 runners participate.

Why not get involved? Runners get to choose a cause they care about, and use the site to fundraise towards their goals. You get the satisfaction of raising money, finishing a 5K or half marathon, AND a kick-ass GiveForward t-shirt. (Who could resist that?) Also runners are invited to attend the official GiveForward Run for a Reason party to celebrate with raffles, food, and lots of alcohol.

If you know anyone training for a race this season who might want to participate and make their run more meaningful, be sure to tell them about GiveForward’s Run for a Reason! To get started join our group page at giveforward.org/runforareason or if you know of any Chicago nonprofits that want to start their own fundraising team tell them to email us or visit giveforward.org/groups.html
