ACCOMPANYING FAMILIES IN HAITI OUT OF POVERTY THROUGH GOOD, DIGNIFIED JOBS.
 

YOU RAISED THE STANDARD.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for 200 miles in May for our annual Run Across May. Though the name contains "Run", from how our miles originated, this event is for everyone! As a participant, you took on the challenge of completing 200 miles (running, walking, cycling, or converting any other activity to miles) and raising funds to support our mission to accompany families in Haiti out of poverty through good, dignified jobs. You had from May 1st to May 31st to complete your 200 miles and raise your fundraising goal, and you did it!

Thanks to all of our participants, generous donors, partners and sponsors, we raised $190,029 for our 2023 Run Across May.

We started this virtual event to harness the power of the community in creating long-lasting change for the families we work alongside. The funds raised will ensure we can continue to provide uninterrupted wrap-around services to our families and support their ability to pull themselves out of poverty through dignified work.

GOing THE EXTRA MILE.

 

PGH Marathon

2023 marked the inaugural year for WORK as an official charity partner of the Pittsburgh Marathon's Run For A Reason Program. Thanks to the support of our runners and community, we raised over $6,000 while walkers and runners took on their challenge ranging from the 5K distance all the way to the marathon on the weekend of May 7th. For those that met their fundraising goal, they received an additional perk of racing for free, all while making an impact for our families in Haiti. Stay tuned and join us next year for 2024.

HOOD HALF Marathon

Thank you to everyone that joined us on Sunday, February 19th for our inaugural Hood Half Marathon, benefitting Movement Runners and WORK. The funds raised of $10,850 will help Movement Runners continue to support new runners entering the sport of running and WORK's mission. The unsanctioned half marathon took nearly 200 runners on a journey starting in historical South Los Angeles and ending at the iconic Venice sign in Venice beach.

You've got questions, we've got answers - let's do this! Still have more questions? Email RAM@dowork.org.

  • The Run Across May (RAM) presented by WORK is a showcase of the power of community. This virtual Run supports our mission to accompany families in Haiti out of poverty through good, dignified jobs. Participants take on the challenge of completing 200 miles of walking, running, cycling, or any mileage-based exercise from their own city throughout the month of May. Participants can join us solo or create a team to complete the challenge together. Not into running or cycling? You can convert any exercise-based activity into miles! We’ll share our conversion chart with you. Commit to completing 200 miles and raising $200 to support our mission.

  • In 2015, we created the Run Across Haiti® - a 200-mile, 8-day run in Haiti from the northern tip of the country to its southern end to show that Haiti is not a place to be feared or to be pitied and to raise funds to accompany our families out of poverty for good. In 2020, the pandemic pushed us to take the Run virtual (now Run Across May) in order to continue the critical work the sport has helped us accomplish over the years. To bring everyone together, we opened it up to everyone to participate in completing 200 miles however they choose, including using our conversion chart to convert exercises or activities into miles.

  • Register today to set up your fundraiser page and spread the word about what you're doing! You can start fundraising now and you'll have until May 31st to reach your fundraising goal. On May 1st, you'll be able to start tracking your miles to complete 200 miles by May 31st.

  • The sky’s the limit! Participants can join us by completing 200 miles of running, walking, cycling OR converting an exercise or activity into miles. Please see our Conversion Chart to convert your activity into miles. If you can’t find your activity on the list, reach out and we’ll help!
