ead about what Firstgiving did on World Run Day
About World Run Day
This is a day to celebrate running and charitable giving, virtually.
Virtually? Yep - you don’t have to show up at a certain time or place. You don’t have to worry about getting closed out of a race, where to park, or putting your timing chip on.
Anyone anywhere can run any distance.
Here’s what to do:
- Choose your cause. There are 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in the USA and you can raise money for any one of them with Firstgiving. What’s your cause?
- Plan your run. It can be an organized race, a training run with your buddies or on your own - the choice is yours.
- Tell your friends. Create your personal fundraising page and share it with your friends. Just click here to start fundraising!
