2012 Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon
2012 Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon
We are very excited to be a Charity Partner with the 2012 Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon! It's part of the marathon's Run for a Reason program. The race is happening on May 6th, 2012. Your support of our campaign will enable us to expand our reach to kids in need and deepen our impact on their lives. Here's how you can help:
Step 1: Sign up - To sign up, visit www.UIF2012Marathon.kintera.org.
Step 2: Set up your fundraising web page.
Step 3: Begin fundraising!
To participate as one of our charity runners, we require a fundraising commitment as outlined below. We can't meet our goal of $100,000 without your help!
Fundraising Minimums
Full Marathon - $600
Half Marathon - $600
Relay Team - $1,500/team
5K - $250
Wheelchair Division - $600
Kids' Marathon - no fundraising required
Fundraising commitments cover the registration fee charged by the marathon office, so runners will not have to pay anything out-of-pocket.
One-on-one training will be offered to help runners with their fundraising efforts.
Fundraising Deadlines
The preliminary deadline for raising all of your committed funds is February 29th, 2012. After that, runners who have not yet met their fundraising commitment will receive a commitment balance statement. The difference must be paid within 2 weeks, by March 14th, 2012.
Registration
Once you have reached your minimum fundraising amount, Urban Impact will officially register you with the Marathon Office using a unique coupon code. The coupon code is important for tracking your involvement with our charity and therefore you must allow us to register on your behalf. In the event you have already registered for the marathon but would like to run for Urban Impact, it is still possible to raise funds for us. Simply contact Cindy Dell at 412.321.3811 x 120.
Benefits for Runners
All registered runners will receive a running shirt and free admission to a pre-race pasta party. Check back soon for additional incentives!
Urban Impact Training Team
The Training Team currently meets monthly and in January will begin to meet on a weekly basis. For more information about the training team, contact Erich Dinkfelt at erichd@hotmail.com.
