WITS on the Go
Let's Go with WITS On The Go!
WITS on the Go is a fundraising initiative which supports athletes in their running endeavors while raising funds for our organization's literacy programs. The initiative identifies Chicago races each year which fit various running interests from 5K through marathons. WITS asks interested runners to register with WITS through our website for a set fee that covers the race registration and allows for an added donation to go to WITS. WITS then registers the runner with the race site, pays the race fee and, offers the runner additional perks such as training shirts, running paraphernalia, top fundraising prizes and training tips. Runners raise additional funds through pledges for their run from friends and family, which is donated to WITS.
The advantage to participants is they receive all the benefits from the race, but ALSO:
- Have their race fee covered through your donation
- Have their race registration completed
- Receive race perks from race organizers AND from WITS
- Support an important cause that positively and immediately impacts the education of Chicago's children!
