What Cause Will You Run For?
Below are the Official Run for a Cause Participants for the 2011 National Marathon Run for a Cause Program. If you're interested in participating as a fundraiser for one of these organizations, please refer to the contact provided at the end of each description.
Reach Out and Read - AREVA
It is with much excitement that AREVA joins the Greater Washington Sports Alliance to participate in the National Marathon, Half Marathon and Team Relay. The goal for this first-time participation is to bring our North American employees closer together as they form running teams and host colleagues who are participating on Saturday, March 26th. Beyond this basic idea of team-building, AREVA will donate 1 Euro for every kilometer run by each employee to an organization called Reach Out and Read. In an effort to combat illiteracy, this charity helps promote the importance of reading aloud to babies and children by donating new books to parents when visiting their pediatrician.
AREVA is stressing the importance of physical fitness with its Athlenergy program. Track and Field athletics allows athletes of all kinds to participate. We encourage everyone to join together by participating in a team or by cheering your favorite runner. Together we can make a difference in the lives of young readers as well as making new friends within AREVA.
