Help spread the word

Dear Friends & Family,

I'm lacing up my sneakers next month and walking 10K for my church's Mission Trip fundraiser. I'm excited to participate and raise money for the team that is going to Dominican Republic in September.

This money will be going towards the team costs and building supplies to help support the community in Palo Alto.

I'm asking for sponsors to help me reach my fundraising goal. Will you help by making a pledge per lap or a simple flat donation?

Thank you for your support!

About this fundraiser:

Help Us Make a Difference in the Dominican Republic

Our church is passionate about serving others—locally and globally. This year, we invite you to support a humanitarian team traveling to Palo Alto, Dominican Republic, from September 13-20, 2025, to assist Iglesia Christiana Cuerpo de Cristo, a local church making an incredible impact in their community.

In 2024, our partnership with this church deepened as we worked side by side, shared in God’s glory, and saw firsthand the challenges they face. This rural community of 300 families lives in extreme poverty—many without electricity, running water, or safe roads. Yet, their faith and commitment are powerful; some walk up to 8 hours to attend church. The church has responded by building homes, offering medical support, creating a community garden, and advocating for better infrastructure.

While we’re only there for a short time, your support will have a lasting effect. Donations help provide food, building materials, and vital resources. Please consider sponsoring our team. Your gift—large or small—will bring hope, aid, and encouragement where it’s needed most.

Thank you for standing with us.
