Charities
One of the big goals of RunWenatchee is to give back to our communities. We donate money to worthy community groups who help us put on events each year. We also provide a platform for these same groups to publicize their message.
Each year the funds available to us vary, and thus the donations vary. Each year we hear success stories on how this beneficiary program aids the community.
We are always seeking creative ways to help folks out.
If you are interested in learning more about our charitable giving or have ideas, please contact Joel Rhyner at runwenatchee [at] gmail.com or Steve Maher at stephenmaher67 [at] yahoo.com.
