Dear Friends of the Homeless Children's Education Fund, Are you running or do you know anyone who is planning to run in the Relay, Half or Full Pittsburgh Marathon on Sunday, May 5th or the 5K on Saturday, May 4th? If so, could you ask them if they would like to support the mission of the Homeless Children's Education Fund and advance the education of children and youth experiencing homelessness? Last year over 3,500 children and youth were identified by their Allegheny County schools as experiencing homelessness. If this is a possibility for anyone you know, please ask them to click on the HCEF Crowdrise link https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/hcefpghmarathon19 and register. If you or your friends have any questions or want to let HCEF know in person that you are planning to run for the children, please contact MJ Meenen at Mjmeenen@homelessfund.org<mailto:Mjmeenen@homelessfund.org> or 412-562-0154 x201 Although HCEF is only a probationary charity in the 2019 Marathon, we are hoping to be one of the official Pittsburgh Marathon Charities in 2020. We need 11 more runners to sign up to support HCEF for the 2019 race to become eligible for this consideration. It would be great if you would join them and run for the children!
