The Children of Peru Foundation is proud to be a Charity Partner with the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) for the 2010 Marine Corps Historic Half Marathon on May 16th.

This allows us to provide guaranteed half marathon entries to runners who commit to make a donation or raise funds totaling $300 or more for the Children of Peru Foundation.

Fundraising

Team Children of Peru participants are encouraged to set their own fundraising goals. We require that charity participants raise (or pay themselves) at least $300, but why stop there? Every dollar you raise for the Children of Peru Foundation helps us fund our different programs for poor kids in Peru. We will use the dollars you raised to make a difference for poor children in Peru.  

"Can I join if I already have my entry to the "Historic Half Marathon"?"

Runners who have already registered for the race and want to join our team so that they also can run for a cause are more than welcome!!
We are not asking for a minimum fundraising commitment but we encourage runners to get the same $300 fundraising objective to support our projects and also make a difference for poor children in Peru.
Email mchh (at) childrenofperu.org for registration forms specifying that you already have your entry.

Why Run for the Children of Peru Foundation?

Since its creation, the Children of Peru Foundation has been working with several groups, association and NGOs to help poor children in Peru in the areas of health and education. We have built schools, we are sending surgeons every year to provide free surgeries to children in need and we want to do much more.

Whether you finish in record time or just cross the finish line, your participation will have made a difference in the lives of hundreds of Peruvian children and their families.


Email mchh (at) childrenofperu.org for more information and for registration forms. Please specify if you need a guaranteed entry or if you are already registered for the race.
