An opportunity to raise $ for your Invasive Plant Council

Greetings colleagues,

Last year, Cal-IPC organized Team Run Wild for the San Francisco Marathon in July as a fundraiser for our work. It was a lot of fun and it was effective as a fundraiser (and as an awareness builder). So we’re doing it again this year, and we thought we’d reach out to NAIPC partners to see if you want to join in and use it as a fundraiser for your organization. For any runners you recruit from your state to join Team Run Wild, half of all money they raise will go to your IPC or EPPC.

I’m attaching a flyer letting you know how it works. We have half-marathon bibs as well as full-marathon. All you need to do is spread the word throughout your network to find any runners who might want to visit San Francisco for the marathon and use it as a fundraiser to support your conservation work. We handle the rest.

At this point we’ve already got a runner from Florida signed up and raising funds! It would be great to have more. Please do get the word out to your people, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Doug
