WHO IS HOSTING THIS FUNDRAISER?
The Staycation Races is a joint project between:
Vacation Races
Virtual Running Club
Wander Project
Public Lands Alliance
WHO AM I FUNDRAISING FOR?
You decide! Maybe you want to help your local food bank or the pizza parlor that donated to your child’s baseball team. As long as they’re a registered organization (we can’t send donations to individuals), you can choose to raise funds for them!
90% of funds raised will go to the local business or organization you choose. The remaining 10% will go to Wander Project & Public Lands Alliance 501(c)(3), the official charity partners of the Staycation Races! All money donated is 100% tax-deductible.
