Help us reach our goal of $35,000 to support Envision programs all year around by making a contribution to a team member on our Race Roster Fundraising Page.
HOW IT WORKS:
After registering for a race and selecting Envision as your charity, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to your Race Roster fundraising dashboard. Be sure your profile lists Envision Blind Sports as your charity of choice so we can include you on our team roster and share important updates. You’ll use your personalized fundraising page to collect donations as you train for race weekend.
