We #RunForaReason
For the last six years, we’ve been an official charity partner of the Chevron Houston Marathon. Rally with us to make this the biggest year yet!
.
Support our Cause!
This year, our team has two goals: #1: To raise $125,000 for our animals, and #2: to sign up 125 runners to our marathon team. Whether you donate or run please help us reach our goals!
Support our Runners!
Some of us are avid runners. Some of us don’t even like running. But when it comes to saving animals, we’re all in!
