Texas Round-Up

Sorry, no fundraising available

Welcome to Texas Round-Up's Donation Page at Firstgiving!

Texas Round-Up depends upon sponsorships and donations and fundraising from people like you to continue combating obesity and obesity-related illness in Texas. The race registration fees, donations, and sponsorships all allow us to continue our mission and keep our online programs and resources free for everyone.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 by April 15, 2010.

Will you support our mission and help us reach our $10,000 goal?

Join with us in the fight against unhealthy lifestyles and preventable, chronic disease.

With roughly two-thirds of Texas adults classified as overweight or obese, Texas is facing an obesity crisis. Texas Round-Up is fighting the root causes of obesity and obesity-related illness.

Join us in combating sedentary lifestyles, promoting regular exercise, and making healthy choices. Together, we can make a difference as big as Texas.

Two Ways You Can Help

  1. You can make a donation right here by clicking on the Donate button on the right of the page.
     
  2. You can create your own fundraising page here at firstgiving, and share it with your friends and family. They can sponsor you as a participant in the Texas Round-Up 10K-5K-Family Mile events, or they can sponsor you as you participate in GetFitTexas! and/or the Governor's Challenge.

Either way, you will be making a positive step towards good health for yourself, as well as supporting Texas Round-Up's programs and services for all Texans.
