Team Azalea Charities

Run for Wounded Soldiers in the
2008 Marine Corps Marathon and 10k Run
Sunday, October 26, 2008

Team Azalea Charities is proud to field its 3rd team in this year’s Marine Corps Marathon (MCM), and its very first team in the 10K event on Sunday, October 26, 2008.
 
We are seeking support from individuals, small businesses, and corporate/business sponsors to help raise $225,000 – the Run For Wounded Soldiers fundraising goal for 2008!  As part of the MCM Charity Partnership Program, we have already secured 100 bibs for the Marathon and 20 bibs for the 10K runners and walkers committed to our cause.

Azalea Charities, Inc. Aid for Wounded Soldiers is a non-profit project that provides comfort and relief items for soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines sick, injured or wounded from service in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Staffed with all volunteers and supported by a charity board of directors that cover all operating expenses, 100% of your contributions go toward the purchase of specific items requested by Military Medical Centers, VA Medical Centers and Fisher House rehabilitation facilities each week.  We also provide financial support to CrisisLink, a Hotline for wounded soldiers and their families, Hope for the Warriors, and special projects for wounded soldiers.  Many of the servicemen and women are grievously wounded and will require long hospitalization and rehabilitation.  The purpose of our mission is to lift their spirits, enhance their morale, as well as affect a lifetime support program well after our warriors are no longer in the headlines.
