Run 4 (your) Charity

Charity
Foundation Run in the Sun/ KLM Curacao Marathon will support and raise money for Run 4 School. This year Run 4 School donates to "The Curacao Athletic Federation” and "Tur Mucha Mester Kome". Participants can donate upon registration. 

The Curacao Athletic Federation will use the money to Athletic weekend competitions for young Athletes in Curacao. 

The purpose of the campaign "Tur Mucha Mester Kome" is to ensure that there are no children who go to school hungry in the morning. All selected children should get to eat a balanced meal that includes all the vitamins and minerals needed for the healthy development of the child; three times a day; 365 days a year.To facilitate this project, the Curaçao International Financial Association (CIFA) has taken the initiative to provide relief as part of their social responsibility program and founded the foundation 'Tur Mucha Mester Kome'. The Foundation works with the school boards, guidance counselors and churches; all of which will make an inventory of the number of children eating less than three times a day, and that are suffering from hunger. Its cooking staff prepares healthy and tasty meals for these children; and its distribution staff makes sure the meals are delivered to the schools and to the children’s homes. By doing so, the Tur Mucha Mester Kome Foundation fights hunger and poverty, and supports education.

Here are our some fundraising ideas:

5 KM run or walk a short distance which most people can achieve. A reasonable target to be set here is fl 150,-. Fundraising tip number 1 is to ask your 30 closest friends in person to sponsor you fl 5,- fl 1,- per km and explain to them how the money will help support your chosen charity.
10 KM run or walk A distance that again can be achieved by most people. A reasonable target to be set here is fl 300,-. Fundraising Tip number 2 is to Use social media such as Facebook to contact all of your friends and ask them to sponsor you. The average person has 120 friends on Facebook so ask for fl 5,- and all you need is 50% of your friends to sponsor you.
Half Marathons. You are now stepping into a serious distance and you need to consider this very carefully. You need to train hard and a reasonable target to be set here is fl 500,00 - fl 1000,- Fundraising Tip number 3 is to check with your boss to see if you receive match-giving. If so you have just halved your fundraising target.
Marathons. Completing a marathon is one of the most rewarding things you can do in your life and the self satisfaction will also come with a high fundraising target of fl 1500+ but don't be deterred by this as this is very much part of the achievement.
