... and Saturday's Run for Congo Women 5K was a success!
The best news first: We raised $3,023 to support Women for Women's Congo programs. This is enough money to support 8 Congolese women for a year of vocational training, psychosocial support and rights training. This is enough money to make a big difference in the lives of these women, and for their families and communities.
As I was going through the donation checks, I was amazed at the generosity I saw there. We offer our sincerest thanks to everyone who made donations, and we hope that you feel more connected and empowered as a result of your participation.
We had 124 runners/walkers this year! Last year there were only 35, so this represents a huge increase in just one year.
Our fastest runner of the day was Jesse Ward. Congratulations to Jesse and all of our other winners, and congratulations to all those who completed the 5K!
Pictures of the event will be coming soon, thanks to our talented photographer Jen Fauset.
One more thank-you to our fantastic sponsors: U of U Women's Resource Center, Basa Body, Cafe Rio, Carino's, Mandarin Boards, Jason's Deli, and other businesses and individuals. We couldn't have pulled it off without you.
