UVM WOMEN XC's Run Against Hunger

I’m excited to announce that the UVM Women’s cross country team 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.

Our team would love to utilize this time to put our hard work and miles towards a tangible goal. Having an athletic platform allows us to spread awareness and we hope to make a difference during this uncertain time of our lives!

We would greatly appreciate your support in pledging to donate per mile for our team, OR making one flat donation towards our whole campaign.

For example, if you pledge $0.05 and we run a total of 500 miles during the Run-A-Thon, you’ll donate $25 to No Kid Hungry, which is equivalent to 300 meals. OR you could donate one flat amount that goes towards our whole campaign once!

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!
