Revel in the exhilaration of crossing the finish line in the 2013 LA Marathon® while making a difference in the futures of our greatest assets: Our children!

Join Team CFC this year and be a part of a life-altering and life-affirming experience! Funds raised by Team CFC will provide critical child centered resources for young children, their families and the caregivers that help them thrive. Team CFC understands the consequences we all face when children's needs go unmet. Research shows that early education and high quality child care prepare children for success from kindergarten and beyond, but many families lack the means to provide these opportunities for their children.

On March 17, 2013 we will stand, run and walk to help ensure that all children get their best start in life. You can participate by running the 26.2 mile marathon, OR you can find a running partner and share the distance in the 2-Person Charity Relay.

Join our team and enjoy the most amazing experience of your life. Funds that you raise will:

• Support parents in finding quality child care and early education tailored to their needs
• Help low income families secure financial assistance and other resources, enabling parents to work or attend school while their children are cared for in a high quality early-learning environment.
• Help launch new training programs to educate child care providers about the importance of physical activity and balanced nutrition, so that children can enter school healthy and ready to thrive.
• Assist in the provision of special programs including our Holiday Program for low-income families, allowing families to select age-appropriate gifts and books, making the season brighter for hundreds of children in need.

Your participation is vital to our success. With your help, we will raise more than $40,000 this year. Become a Team CFC Member and run to make a difference in children's lives!

To learn more about this incredible opportunity, please contact Lisa Daggett, our Team CFC coordinator. She will help you reach your goals and guide you through your marathon journey! Lisa will tell you how to get in fighting shape with Club 26.2's pre-marathon training program, how to get your registration fees reimbursed, and about all of the incredible fundraising support you will receive! You don't need to be a runner to be involved - you just need to care about quality care and early education for children. We can't wait to hear from you!
