RUN FOR A CAUSE WITH TEAM CALICO
UPDATE: The Oakland Running Festival has been rescheduled to August 30, 2020.
While everyone starts running for a different reason, our runners all join Team CALICO for the same reason – they want to help keep children safe and healthy. Our team gets bigger every year, and runners help raise funds to provide vital services for abused children and their families.
Every $1,000 raised will provide a family in crisis with a comprehensive package of services including a quality forensic interview, crisis intervention, follow up support, and referrals for community-based services. Joining Team CALICO is fun and easy way to help children and spread awareness.
Please consider one of these fun ways to get involved:
RUN
Sign up for a 5K, relay, half-marathon, or full marathon on Sunday, August 30, 2020 at the Oakland Running Festival. All runners receive a CALICO performance t-shirt.
Team CALICO runners commit to raising $500 to support CALICO’s forensic interviewing and family support services. With that commitment, CALICO will cover the cost of registration. $500 might sound like an intimidating amount of money, but you will be surprised by how manageable it actually is. And CALICO will be here to help you every step of the way! We provide support, as well as tips and tricks to help you meet your fundraising goal.
