Fundraising Update: Malibu Half-Marathon Fundraiser!

"Fundraising is proclaiming what we believe in such a way that we offer other people an opportunity to participate with us in our vision and mission." - Henri Nouwen

Pulling out the running shoes again to raise funds for my service with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps! I am so thankful for the donations made thus far (formal thank yous coming soon!). We have almost reached the minimum goal of $3000, yet I still hope to partner with ~50 more donors at donations of any amount! I believe in the program's goal to "[enhance] the capacity of local organizations to serve their communities by providing Jesuit Volunteers to directly serve the poor and marginalized in the U.S. and developing countries." Without the generosity of donors, this work and opportunity would not be possible.

To advance this mission, I will be running the Malibu Half-Marathon on Nov. 16 to raise funds for the Jesuit Volunteer Corps! I have begun training and hope to share fundraising/training updates through Facebook, Instagram (alexinteriano), and here! Anyone who will be in the area on Nov. 16, please join me in the race or meet me near the beach afterward! This conveniently falls on my 22nd birthday and I look forward to celebrating in this way! In lieu of regular gifts this year, I am inviting friends and family to make a donation of any size to this cause!
