Join us for this fun, festive race day as we come together as a community to build hope for Africa’s children one step at a time. All proceeds will benefit Maximum Impact School in Nairobi, Kenya, to build a permanent school for orphans and desperately needy children. By joining us October 16th, you can play a vital role in dramatically improving the education, and therefore the opportunities, that are available to these children.
Create your own fundraising page and send it to all your friends and relatives or download the sponsorship form on the right for those that don’t have web access. Every $.60 buys one building block, so we can literally build a future for these desperately needy children and give them the invaluable gifts of education and hope.
