TIME- The best way to give is by giving your time.  There are coaches needed and each school has different criteria for coaching. All require to be Live Scan Fingerprinted and approved by the school. Coaches work closely with the school they coach at to establish day(s) and times for run club. We also need volunteers at our Family Fun Day events as well as at our field beautification/improvement days. If you have expertise in these areas or are willing to lend a helping hand please reach out to us. 

EQUIPMENT- We currently are accepting new and lightly used equipment to disburse to chapters. In addition we also collect lightly used athletic shoes, cleats and shin guards to redistribute to those children who need them in the community. You do not have to be a current run club member to receive items. All you have to do is email us with your children's size and what you are looking for. We will check our inventory and if we need to we can put a request out to the community.

MONEY- It takes about $750 a year minimum, to run a chapter. This cost includes insurance (each chapter carries their own) , the very basic equipment, milestone awards, coaching program(free) and the software application we use to track the student's mileage. 

WE NEED SPONSORS!    We are currently taking monetary donations of any denomination. Our pay link is in the works but if you email us we are happy to arrange for payment collection if any type. 

A Huge Impact-  $750 donation goes a long way. By the end of this school year over 75 students will have participated in the Happy Valley Chapter of the Santa Cruz County Youth Run Club alone. That breaks down to $10 per participant. If you are a business who would be willing to sponsor a year of Run Club at a school please reach out to us. Our goal is to have this be a free after school activity for students. 

Please keep in mind your sponsorship leaves a lasting impact. We work closely with each school to teach them how to be financially self-sustainable after their first year. Your money goes towards establishing a new chapter and we do all the work by providing the curriculum and the mentorship along the way.
