WHATS HAPPENING IN DARFUR?

Each day in Darfur, hundreds of people are raped, starved and murdered by the Sudanese armed forces and a Sudanese government-backed militia known as the Janjaweed. At least 400,000 people have died and more than 2 million Darfurians have been left homeless. The United Nations Security Council authorized that peacekeepers be deployed to Darfur, but the Sudanese government has not yet allowed them entry. Meanwhile, the calculated campaign of displacement, starvation, rape, and mass slaughter continues.


WHAT GROUP ARE THE DONATIONS GOING TO?

Dollars for Darfur is a national school competition to raise funds to help end the genocide in Sudan. Our school is competing with other institutions across the country to show our concern about this issue.


HOW IS CY-FAIR INVOLVED?

We are contributing to Dollars for Darfur by holding a relay called Laps of Love. This relay will be held on January 31, 2008 on the Cy-Fair track. Seven girls sports teams (Cross Country, Softball, Swimming, Basketball, Track, Soccer and Tennis) well be running against eachother in a continous one hour relay. Individuals and businesses are pledging certain amounts per lap. The winning team's number of laps will determine the amount of your total donation. Your pledge will be collected after this incredibly amazing event! Everyone is invied to attend and cheer for your favorite sport! Everyone is invited to attend!

 (p.s.- you can earn service hours for NHS and Key Club just be COMING!)

WHAT CAN WE DO?

High school students can make a difference. There are over 27,000 high schools in the United States. If each school raised just $50, we could raise over one million dollars. Donating through this website is simple, fast and completely secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts. All funds raised will go directly to the Save Darfur Coalition, a non-profit charity.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might also wish to donate.

To sum it all up, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Anyone can help! Every dollar makes a difference! If you have any further questions you can e-mail us at cyfairlapsoflove@yahoo.com
