| Charity Partner Goal |
For our first year, our goal is to raise $100 per mile or $2,620 in honor of the 26.2 mile marathon; that is 10,480 meals. If we have 15 runners, that’s about $175 per runner. Of course we don’t have a specific requirement, only that you raise what you can, because every dollar makes a difference! |

| Special Features |
If you raise $100 or more for FBR, we’ll give you a Food Bank of the Rockies t-shirt to wear on race day.

| Fundraising Goals |
Every dollar helps. We ask that each runner try to raise $175; please raise what you can. If you raise over $500, you’ll be recognized in our annual report and had provided money for 2,000 meals to neighbors in need. |
