Opportunity Description:

Run For H2O is an annual fundraising event in partnership with Hope International Development Agency aimed to raise money to build sustainable clean water projects to the most impoverished communities in Guatemala. This water will mean better health, as well as new opportunities to grow more food, to earn an income, to go to school, and to build a better future for these families in poverty. This year’s event is taking place on June 4th, 2016 at the Riverfront District by Kerr and Marine Drive in Vancouver, B.C. Last year, more than 350 runners, 100 volunteers and 1,000 donors participated in this run and we were able to raise more than $73,000! This year, with your help, we would like to raise even more funds. This post is to recruit for Run Course Marshall for the event date.
