Support Team RISE
Thank you for visiting our Team RISE fundraising page!
The marathon took place on Sunday, October 11th.The weather was great and all 24 Team RISE runners finished well! There were Team RISE supporters in numerous locations along the route to cheer the team. A huge thank goes out to all who made this possible--the runners, their families and friends, donors and supporters of Team RISE!
Of the 45,000 registered runners, 8400 people were running for a charity, for a bigger cause! There were 14,000 new runners to the Chicago Marathon and 12,000 volunteers. Team RISE had a big goal of raising $80,000 to build a school, and now enough has been donated to build two schools, one U-shape for 800 children and an L-shape for another 500. The schools will be built at Kaila in the Huila Province, 50km south of Lubango, a place where there has never been a school. This will impact more than 1300 kids and their families immediately, and many more for years to come!
Donations are still being received and thousands more children are waiting for a school. Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is an efficient way to support our fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! Check out our website: www.riseinternational.org
