RUN a race to raise funds for the Foundation.
        
          NEW!!! This spring, in collaboration with Lululemon and Pacers, we will be offering the opportunity
          to run the Marine Corps Marathon with a team of local runners to raise funds for the Foundation.  
          For a commitment to raise at least $1,000 for the marathon or $350 for the 10k, you will get:

               1. A guaranteed entry into the race
               2. The satisfaction of knowing that you are helping hardworking impoverished Ethiopian girl 
                   runners get closer to their dreams of a better life.
               3. Camaraderie and support throughout your training with (optional) group runs offered
                   almost every day at multiple locations throughout the metropolitan DC area.
               4.  Training plans for beginner, intermediate and advanced level marathoners
                    or 10kers              
               5.  Fundraising support: We will help make it simple and successful.
               6.  Helpful workshops by local elite athletes, sports nutritionists, physical therapists, and other
                    running experts.
               7.  Many fans on race day!
               8. ...and more....

     3. Bake sale, car wash, read-a-thon....possibilities are endless! Be creative!

SEARCH the web through http://www.goodsearch.com/  instead of google or other search engine, when you do a websearch; they donate one cent to the Foundation for every search.

EDUCATE your friends, classmates and networks (on Facebook, Twitter and other social networking tools) about how GGRF is working to fight poverty through supporting girl runners in Ethiopia. Use this GGRF flyer and video.
