IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO SAVE ELEPHANTS! HERE'S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW – THE EVENT, THE EXCITEMENT, THE EFFORT!
On Saturday, November 12th, 219 runners and walkers joined us in Central Park, New York!
Together, we've raised a total of just over $35,000 so far! (Fantastic!) (The good news is we still have a chance to raise even more, plus there's a Safari to Zimbabwe in the running for $10,000+ fundraisers!
Our goal is $40, 000 – can we do it?
10 virtual runners registered and two have uploaded their times and photos, so far. The others have until November 20th to run and post their stats!
