It’s more than a running team…
We run and we fundraise. But we also make new friends, meet for socials, laugh and act silly. But there is nothing better than building relationships while making an impact in the community. Isabella’s Dream Team fundraises for childhood cancer research, but excited to add the following commitments as part of our giveback initiative:
1. Fund a wish through Make-A-Wish Central & Western North Carolina
2. Make dinner for families staying at Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte
3. Collect school supplies for Classroom Central

WHAT’S THE FUNDRAISING COMMITMENT?
The fundraising component is minimal compared to the larger charities that ask you to cover the difference if you do not meet the minimum. We simply ask each participant to commit to fundraising at least $500, but our hope is that each person will fundraise much more than that. Don’t fret, we will help you along the way with fundraising ideas and examples.
