My Roots and Shoots project is a Run for the Rhinos located in Atlanta, Georgia. Our mission is to help spread awareness that rhinos are critically endangered and need to be saved. Their horns are being cut off because it is believed they are medicine, however this is not true, and we strive to help tell the truth about how beautiful, loving and necessary rhinos are to our world.
We are having a Run for the Rhinos one mile fun-run fundraiser on March 28, 2024 to raise funds for rangers as well as veterinarians who care for the rhinos. We are selling Run for the Rhinos T-shirts to help the orphaned rhinos at Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary in South Africa. The Run for the Rhinos is a great way to get involved in helping to save the rhinos. Please buy a shirt at: https://www.bonfire.com/run-for-the-rhinos-2022-shirts/
Great! We were able to raise money with T-shirt sales through bonfire.com. The weather on the day of the run was beautiful and we had a nice turn-out.
It is better to have the runs directly after school to get more kids to show up than it is on a Saturday morning.
Try to go to a more public park, advertise better.
The race, volunteering with friends and seeing the happy runners cross the finish line!
It was great to use bonfire.com for the t-shirts, because we did not have to spend a lot of money pre-ordering shirts, and we still had excellent shirt sales!
