Rebuilding Together Richmond, a housing non-profit that Capital One supports, is an organization that benefits many people in the Richmond area. There 5k is coming up!
The Run to Rebuild Richmond 5k is quickly approaching. Mark your calendars for March 23rd. All the proceeds from the race will go to Rebuilding Together, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and rehabilitating affordable housing while rebuilding and revitalizing communities in Richmond!
The event is open to both runners and walkers. They have had participants as young as 7 and as old as 75 in the last couple of years. It’s a very friendly race and has a great course through one of the neighborhoods off River Road. It’s a much smaller event than some, so could be a good warm up for later running or walking events you might have planned in the Spring.
The website is the best place for more race information.
Where the Money Goes
- Rebuilding Together Richmond is able to leverage each $1 donated and deliver $4 of housing improvements to elderly and disabled homeowners in the area.
- For each $25 registration fee you make, RTR can make $100 worth of improvements to a local home.
That’s worth the run/walk and time it takes – that’s definitely bang for your buck!
