Other Voluntary Contributions
The club sponsors a number of special initiatives. This year, our club sponsored a 5K race training program, expanded outreach and marketing activities to attract new members (especially students, beginning runners/walkers and women), co-sponsored the National Marathon and Run for Pride 5K, sponsored a parade float and outreach booth during Capital Pride, and initiated a restoration of the DC Front Runners Memorial Grove in Rock Creek Park.
In order to fund these long-term efforts and recurring costs, we have set up special funds to accept member contributions. Members have the option to contribute to these initiatives and are under no obligation to make a financial donation to these efforts. Please note that your contributions will only be used to fund the initiatives that you have selected.
-
• $10 DCFR Memorial Grove Restoration and Clean Up Project — In 1987, DCFR began planting trees in a designated area of Rock Creek Park (by the pedestrian bridge near the Calvert/Connecticut entrance to the parkway) to commemorate members who had died. In this, the 20th year of the Memorial Grove, we have applied for permission to restore and expand this work. This means planting new trees, removing dead limbs and poison ivy, and watering and maintenance to encourage healthy growth. We are asking for both volunteers and financial assistance to contribute to our efforts. The restoration began in November 2008. CLICK HERE for further information.
-
• $10 Special Events Funds — The club hosts and subsidizes a number of special events. This special fund will offset costs of club sponsored events and promotions, such as Spring Fling, Holiday Party, $5 gift cards for breakfast for a newcomer, etc.
