High Desert Children for Darfur - July 2008
We NEED VOLUNTEERS to help organize the Darfur Dress and Dash: Halloween 5k and Family Fun 1K.
That's right, we're dressing up for Halloween and dashing near the Deschutes to raise money for Darfur!
We NEED YOUR HELP to make this run happen. Join us in planning this first-ever event for Bend!
Proceeds will go toward purchasing solar cookers for Darfuri refugees. Providing solar cookers eliminates the need for women and children to gather firewood--the most dangerous and vulnerable time for them as they become targets for rape and murder outside the safety of the refugee camp. These solar cookers are also environmentally friendly, create jobs in the camps, and allow women to cook without having to be near a burning fire in scorching temperatures. Sounds like a pretty good reason to don a costume and run for Darfur!
We Need help with:
* Getting sponsors
* Assisting the day of the race
* Getting the word out--telling friends, family, coworkers, peers, your community, etc.
* Designing t-shirts
* Getting people to run!
* Working with schools to get youth involved
* Mapping the course
* Media
* Making posters/flyers
* and more!
If you are interested in joining us, please email us at: darfurdressanddash@gmail.com
Looking forward to working with you!
