Our purpose is twofold; to raise awareness of and money for drug abuse prevention. Our focus is mainly on kids including teens. It is our aim to not merely present this to children but rather to actively involve them, making this their issue.
We will assist any
local group, school, church,
anyone who wants to
make a difference in giving kids the tools they need to stay off
drugs. We will help you stage a successful event and show you how to
get local businesses and media involved to raise awareness and money for
your prevention program.
The main event is the quarter mile run for kids of all ages (so far ages 2-80) where everyone who crosses the finish line wins a medal that says, "I'm a winner, I don't do drugs". From there what you want to do with the event is up to you. You can add a mile run for teens, 5K run and walk, field events, relays even on up to a 24 hour relay. The only limitations are your imagination and determination.
You may also
consider doing the Run Drugs Out of Drugs Run as a
relay and have each class run as a team. If you are working with
middle or high school students they may be more interested in doing a
Relay 4 Us where they can raise thousands of dollars for their
school.
If
you want more information or would like to get started on your own event
just send us an email
with your questions and we will try to answer each one right away.
