Why do YOU Race? We’d like to hear what inspired you to join the Race for Every Child.
Tell your story in two minutes using our easy-to-use video platform. Just click Start!
Due to the ongoing and rapidly changing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Race for Every Child will be a virtual event for the first time ever! It’s free to register. Registration gives you access to your personalized fundraising dashboard and the opportunity to recruit and raise vital funds to support Children’s National Hospital. We encourage all participants to fundraise. Those who raise $30 or more will receive a Race for Every Child t-shirt.
There is no required fundraising minimum. All participants are encouraged to set a minimum fundraising goal of $250 to help families and children who need it the most. Every dollar that you raise will be put to use by the hospital to provide exceptional pediatric care, support programs for patients and families and develop new therapies and cures. Team captains are encouraged to set a goal of $250 per team member.
No. There is no registration fee this year in light of our format changing to virtual. All registrants will receive access to their participant dashboard to begin fundraising efforts and the 2020 t-shirt will be available once individuals hit $30 in fundraising!
There will not be an in-person event. We invite you to join our virtual movement. We will host a virtual ceremony on Saturday, October 17, and encourage team captains and participants to gather together in your own neighborhood at the conclusion. Stay tuned for our full schedule of virtual activities leading up to Oct. 17!
You may register up until Thursday, October 15, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
You may donate in support of a team or individual participating in the Race for Every Child. Visit our donation page and search for their individual or team name.
Absolutely! Every dollar individual team members raise will contribute to the overall team fundraising totals! We encourage individuals to share their unique participant page links so they can qualify for the Individual Recognition Program milestones while supporting the overall team goal.
We encourage everyone who is interested to register so they can access a personal fundraising dashboard and hit fundraising milestones, including the 2020 T-shirt!
We cannot split fundraising dollars among registrants and non-registrants. All participants who wish to participate in the 2020 Individual Recognition Program need to register.
