Event Description

A Call To RUN3.1 is A CALL TO ACTION on behalf of women across the globe. Join the race to encourage women locally & empower women globally.

INTRODUCTION
A Call To RUN3.1 {ACT RUN3.1} is a virtual race hosted by Power to Act, a nonprofit created to meet the basic physical needs of women in our local community and women artisans in our global community. The ACT RUN3.1 benefits women escaping adversity, rising from poverty, or rescued from trafficking.

Your Registration Fee will include an ethically made t-shirt you can proudly wear on Race Day + stories from artisans + other goodies.  Our only request is that you tell us how you chose to ‘RUN’ on Race Day with a selfie + #PTAactrun on social media.  All proceeds will be directly donated to the local work of Power to Act and our amazing global partners including:

• Power to Act: Create a Purse with Purpose, a practical, needs-based handbag filled with items that meet the physical basic need of women experiencing homelessness or domestic violence and handcrafted by global artisans.
• Our Global Partners: Addressing the immediate needs of women artisans in our global communities contributing towards their salary, training, vocation, nutrition, and other vital services.

RACE DAY INSTRUCTIONS
You have the POWER to create your own Race Day experience, choosing HOW you want to ‘RUN’, WHO you race with, TIME OF DAY you want to race, and WHERE you want to race on May 15.  Please keep in mind any social-distance requirements in your community.
