This year I am joining several employees, and volunteers at Reston Interfaith to run in the 35th annual Marine Corps Marathon and help raise money for the Embry Rucker Community Shelter. This is a great event in our nation’s capital and will feature over 35,000 runners. My personal goal is raise $1,000 by October 1st!
As most of you know I’ve been doing a lot of work with Reston Interfaith and the Embry Rucker Community Shelter in Reston this past year. This has been an eye opening experience for me to say the least. Participating in this run, with your sponsorship will help support the mission of this worthy organization.
The Embry Rucker Community Shelter provides emergency housing for both homeless single individuals and families in our area. These services include emergency housing, childcare, re-housing assistances (that’s me), job placement, health and family services and much more. Much of this is done with the generous support of our community.
You can donate by using any type of credit card (via Network for good..Click HERE) or you can mail in your contribution to Embry Rucker Community Shelter,
11975 Bowman Towne Dr., Reston, VA 20190 Attn: Chuck Rifae. Please make checks payable to Chuck Rifae and in the memo field write Embry Rucker Shelter.
This is a great way to make your dollars work locally!
Donations of any size are appreciated, and if you donate $200 or more I will proudly wear your company’s logo on my race day shirt and feature your company’s logo on my blog!
You can also follow my training on Daily Mile, Twitter, and Facebook!
Thank you,
Chuck Rifae
