Event Description
RUN. WALK. DONATE... THE COMMUNITY ALWAYS WINS!
NEW THIS YEAR - TEAM SPONSOR DONATIONS WILL BE PAID OUT EVERY MONTH!
During the coronavirus pandemic, the Tucker Community Foundation is changing up the rules on Run For It. We will pay out the team sponsorship monies monthly to each organization who registers a team for the event. We encourage nonprofit organizations to click on the "Become a Fundraising Team" link above and set up their fundraising page. You can input information about your organization's programs and needs during this crisis and beyond.
The Tucker Community Foundation will share each organization's information monthly via a newsletter and on Facebook and Instagram. We also encourage each organization to share and use this page for their own fundraising efforts during this challenging period. If your group needs help setting up your profile page, we are happy to assist in setting it up. Please call, 304-478-2930, or send us an email, runforit@tuckerfoundation.net.
