Charlotte's Run Against Hunger

UNC Charlotte Athletics is excited to announce that we will be participating in Run Against Hunger’s first-ever Run-A-Thon from home from April 20-26. Run Against Hunger’s goal is to combat food insecurity caused by school closures of the COVID-19 crisis through running. All funds will go directly to No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit organization helping schools and community groups feed kids while schools are closed.

An important aspect of UNC Charlotte athletics is getting involved in the community and helping those who are less fortunate. Run against hunger gives us the opportunity to do this while social distancing and staying healthy. We would love all the help we can get whether it is a donation or just passing along this information to others.

You can donate by making a pledge per mile or a one-time flat donation.

For example, if you pledge $0.25 and we run 100 miles during the Run-A-Thon, you’ll donate $25 to No Kid Hungry, which is equivalent to 250 meals.

During this Run-A-Thon, we hope to help decrease the number of meals missed. It is currently projected that students will miss over half a million meals due to school closures caused by COVID-19. With your help, I believe we can run down that number.

Thank you so much for your support and stay healthy!

All running during this Run-A-Thon will follow local, state and federal social distancing guidelines!

All statistics were taken from No Kid Hungry as of 4/7/2020 at 3:47 PM.

All running was voluntary during this fundraising event.
