Weber State STAND Runs for the Congo

If you're looking for a way to get involved in the effort to help women in the Congo this summer, look no further. 

On Saturday, June 11th, Utah for Congo is holding their second annual 5K Run for the Congo at Wheeler farm in Murray, Utah.  So far, over 100 people have signed up to run in the event, which will donate 100% of proceeds to Women for Women International, an organization which runs a number of programs globally, including several for women affected by violence in the Congo.

I've gotten in touch with the organizers of the event, so Weber State STAND will be sponsoring the event and handing out materials for our petition.  If you'd like to sign up to run in the event and fundraise, sign up on this website.  Registration is free, and you will receive an e-mail with fundraising ideas shortly after you complete the form.

If anyone is looking to volunteer to help distribute information for STAND, please send me an e-mail at zstickney@live.com
