What kind of fundraising does Taylor’s Angels do to support its mission?
We host a golf tournament every October as well as a 5K every May. How did you come upon the idea for a 5K race for a fundraiser? My co-chair for this event, Cheri Korstvedt, actually came up with the idea. She is a race-walking coach and has had lots of experience with 5K’s on the participation side. We decided to put our heads together and see if we could pull it off…and we did!! How did you go about organizing the first race? Our 1st step was to meet with a local running store that helps to put on these types of events. We chose Run On. They will do as much or as little of the planning/organizing/set up as you want. We handled the planning/organizing and we paid them to set up the scaffolding, sound system and provide timing equipment. They also pointed us in the right direction regarding course certification obtaining insurance, etc… How many volunteers helped support the event? Approx. 100 How did you get sponsors for the race? We approached local businesses and pleaded our case!
