Runners With a Reason is proud to support both the sport of running and the charity of the runner's choice. A portion of the money that a person raises will go to their "reason", provided that it is a 501(c)(3) organization. Another portion of the funds will go to our non-profit. We will use the money we raise through the non-profit to support/start programs that remove the reasons why people don't run. For 2008, we decided that the money we raise will go to pay the fees for low-income girls to participate in the Girls on the Run program and to start a Lincoln chapter of the Achilles Track Club (a group that makes it possible for individuals with disabilities to run distance races).
Many of our runners chose to support the following organizations:
Heartland Big Brothers Big Sisters
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
