Driftwood Dash 5K Run/Walk

Hi There!

I hope you will consider joining us for the First Annual Driftwood Dash 5K Run/Walk on April 17th, 2010!

ALL profits benefit Nepal Orphans Home (NOH), a not for profit organization committed to improving the lives of ex-kamlari (slave caste) girls and other orphaned children in Nepal.

I spent a month in Nepal last summer volunteering for NOH and came back determined to help this organization grow. The poverty in Nepal has a crippling effect on families and children and I saw first hand how the volunteers and employees of NOH change lives. Read my blog (below) to learn more about my trip to Nepal and Nepal Orphans Home.

I hope you'll be able to join us in April!

My Best,
Laura

REGISTRATION FORMS
It never occurred to me that I wouldn't be able to attach/link a PDF to my blog, but apparently I can't (or just don't know how). So, if you want a registration form drop me an email and I'll shoot one over to you! LHandy17@gmail.com

Other Stuff:
  • All entrants will receive a raffle ticket to win great prizes from our sponsors. Additional raffle tickets will be sold at the registration table for $1.00 or 7 tickets for $5.00. All proceeds from the raffle go directly to Nepal Orphans Home.
  • Since this is my first year organizing this type of event, I didn't want to get in over my head. Therefore, this event will be UNOFFICIALLY TIMED. It's not the Boston Marathon so I didn't think anyone would be too upset. However, your unofficial times will be posted here after the race.
  • Oh, yeah and the Driftwood Dash isn't exactly a 5K...but it's really close.
  • MAKE ALL CHECKS PAYABLE TO NEPAL ORPHANS HOME.
A huge THANK YOU to our SPONSORS!
