Threshold Passages, Inc.
|
 |
Threshold Passages creates a unique place where boys between the ages of 12 and 17 can regularly interact with dedicated, conscientious adult men with the understanding that each boy can become a man of honor. Threshold Passages helps boys discover their own individual strengths, talents and gifts. Caring men model positive masculine behavior and challenge boys to act responsibly to others and themselves. Equipped with this information, boys can then develop positive life skills and goals that can be expressed in their lives and shared within their community. |
| Charity Partner Goal |
Threshold Passages is proud to be a partner in the 2008 Colfax Marathon. We hope to raise community awareness of our organization and generate funding for the scholarships we offer to participating families. All of the funds raised will go to local families and support local programs such as our ‘Rites of Passage Adventure Weekend’, ‘Reclaiming Your Teenage Fire’ (mentor training) and our weekly ‘JGroups’ (group mentoring). A complete list of programming can be found on our web site: www.thresholdpassages.org. |
| How to Participate |
There are many ways to get involved with us for the race. We need both runners and non-runners. Runners have the option of doing a full marathon, half marathon or being part of a 5-member relay team. We have a Journeymen relay team and a Mentors relay team. Or you can form your own team. Non-runner volunteers are also needed to help plan and staff the event. Visit the volunteer section of the Colfax Marathon web site for more information. |
| Special Features |
Threshold Passages participants will be having more fun than any other group in the race. With all of the “Teenage Fire” in our corner, who knows what could happen. Some of the other special features of “Team TPI” are…
- A pre-race dinner for all participants and volunteers

| Fundraising Goals |
We encourage all runners, teams and volunteers to garner donations, pledges and sponsorships. There is no ‘minimum’ donation expectation yet we hope for an average of $500 per person. Annual or monthly giving pledges are especially encouraged and are typically a better option for the giver. |
