Team Up 4 Orphans: Getting Started

May 7, 2011

This year, Team Up 4 Orphans will form a team to run or walk in the Capital City Half Marathon in Columbus, Ohio, to raise money to benefit the projects and programs of Doma International. Walkers and runners of all skill levels and ages are invited to join the team.

As a part of the Team Up 4 Orphans team, you commit to a minimum fundraising goal of $500, but shoot for raising $2,500, which will include:

* Registration for the Capital City Half Marathon

* Personal fundraising website for each team member

* Mentor to help you meet your fundraising goals

* Fundraising workships, strategies, and materials

* Team activities throughout the training

* Team dinner the night before the race

* Team Up 4 Orphans sportswear for race day

Don't live in Columbus but want to join the Team? Contact us for details about how to make that happen!

Doma International is an organization that empowers women and embraces children around the world through prevention, intervention, and long-term care.

Most of the children and families with which Doma have never had a home or a mom or a dad, or the homes they have known have been filled with abuse, neglect, anger, hostility, or pain.

Doma means home in several languages. Doma strives to redefine home.

By removing obstacles to peace, comfort, joy, and stability, Doma guides children and families toward wholeness, where they can enjoy an experience of home that is more complete than what they have known in life so far.

Doma embraces children by meeting basic living needs and supplying tools for emotional and spiritual health. Doma embraces children and young families with God's grace and the love of family.

Doma empowers women who have been victims of human trafficking and the sex trade. Doma walks alongside participants of Columbus' CATCH prostitution court, journeying with them as they bloom with God's hope and love!
