RUN 4 KICKS
Working together with
Love Elementary
Caden Perry
MY MAIN GOAL
Giving the students at Love Elementary a way to learn through athletics
Run 4 Kicks will raise money to buy new PE equipment for Love Elementary which includes; soccer balls and hopefully a soccer goal. My plan is to raise money through a virtual run.
What Is a Virtual Run?
The idea started last year when the New York City Marathon offered a virtual run to runners trying to obtain entry into the New York City Marathon, which is very difficult to gain entry. You may not know this but runners can spend years trying to “win the Lottery” and get into the race. With the virtual marathon opportunity, a few hundred runners were able to run a marathon in the month of November anywhere in the world, turn in their time and would have automatic entry the following year to run the actual New York City Marathon. Because of this many other organizations have done the same thing realizing there is no cost during the actual run including, road closures, water, security, fencing… the list continues. This idea has become very popular in the running community because it holds runners accountable to complete their training runs within a specified time limit.
How can I apply this idea to my project?
I am using this idea to get kids outside, active and interacting with friends and family away from electronics, while at the same time supporting Love Elementary by helping them get much-needed PE equipment. I am hoping to buy 20 soccer balls and a soccer goal, soccer balls cost $20each and a soccer goal costs about $1500. This is an HISD school that has not had a PE fund for 2 years. my aunt works at this school and introduced me to the PE teacher.
I will be completing my run at Memorial Park, starting by the Tennis Shop on October 12.
I would love for friends and families to join me that morning at 8:00 am. we will have donuts at the finish. If it is not possible to make this date and time you can accomplish the run during the month of October.
Please note that the last day to make a contribution will be October the 15th.
