What Your $2 Donation Does at Running in Virginia
100% of your tax-deductible donations go to kids in need, mostly middle and high schoolers that want to participate in running sports, but simply can’t.
Kids on our list come from families that are at or below the poverty line, so we work with coaches to help identify these kids and through local run shops in the state, we work with them to put training shoes on their feet so they can participate in the team.
Finances shouldn’t be a hurdle to let youth be a part of the running community.
Our Mission
Youth Athletes in Need.
Good running shoes are expensive, but they don’t have to be a barrier to young runners just entering the sport. Running competitively is challenging enough for youth athletes and their families so we work to remove the financial barrier of running trainers and spikes.
We work with many track and cross-country coaches in all regions of Virginia to identify young runners who need our support to provide affordable running shoes, spikes, socks, or other gear needed to have a successful racing season.
Your contributions and Patreon fees help to cover those expenses for young runners as well as support charity races across Virginia.
