What are Fundraising Teams?
We’re excited to invite you to make an even bigger impact through this year’s Refugee Hope Partners 5K! Along with lacing up your running (or walking!) shoes, you can now take part in Peer-to-Peer Fundraising—a fun and meaningful way to rally your community around refugees in the Triangle.
By creating or joining a team, you’ll help raise support before race day, cheer each other on, and see just how powerful community can be when we show up together.
We've even created a DIGITAL TEAM TOOL KIT to provide you with everything you need to have a stellar team!!
