TeamAIDAsha marathon fundraising program

TeamAIDAsha marathon fundraising program had another great season in 2010. We raised a record $77K (total for AID + Asha, Boston chapters). Since the beginning of the program we have raised a total of more than $440K for AID + Asha and trained about 175 runners finish their marathon or half-marathons.

We are starting another season shortly and we can use your help in various ways. Initially the main volunteer requirements are in publicity (starting asap) and water support (starting in May). We also have other needs like project updates so that runners know where the money they raise is allocated and so on.

Also, by helping the TAA program and the runners, you will be able to spread the word about the hard work you and fellow volunteers have been doing and keep the runners motivated during their own personal challenge. More ideas welcome!

We try to spread the load around a large number of volunteers. So, you may need to help only for a short while (1-2 hours per week for publicity for emailing etc, 2-3 hours per month for water support). We have listed approximate estimates for each volunteering area.

If you can help (even if it is for a short while), please sign up at the link below so that we can contact you for follow-ups.

If you plan to run this year, please attend our TAA information session on Sunday, April 10th at MIT (stay tuned for more details). There will be a separate signup for runners.

You can get a summary of the TAA program at the link below:
