Run For The Water

Gazelle Foundation Run For The Water is a community event that relies on AMAZIng volunteers - like you - to make it happen. In addition to making for a successful race event, your contribution directly benefits the Gazelle Foundation's mission of improving the quality of life for people in Burundi.

All volunteers will receive a t-shirt and a huge thank you from our community and our beneficiaries in Burundi!
