Fall Fundraising

There are thousands of reasons why we run. I could personally rattle off at least 20 that come to mind for myself. But perhaps one of the most noble reasons we participate in races is to raise money for an important cause. Some of the Pacers Ambassadors are doing just that.

My personal experience with fundraising has been more challenging than I expected. But that's what makes it rewarding. Just like running. If it weren't a challenge, we probably wouldn't be doing it. It takes persistence, creativity, and a true passion for the cause.

Here is a listing of the Pacers Ambassadors who are raising money for a charity associated with a fall race. We would love to have our readers' support, so don't hesitate to click on the fundraising pages.
