Run for Biodiversity: R4B-Ottawa
May 24, 2014 to May 25, 2014
Are you a Runner or Walker?
We’re looking for dedicated supporters to Walk or Run for Biodiversity in the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend marathon, half marathon, 10 km, 5 km or 2 km races.
If you’d like to support USC’s work with seed-saving farmers by running or walking, please send an email to David Rain at R4B (at) usc-canada.org to receive detailed information.
All R4B-Ottawa runners and walkers who commit to raising $100 will receive a specially-designed Run for Biodiversity T-shirt in appreciation for their fundraising efforts.
As a special thank you, the top 10 R4B-Ottawa fundraisers will be registered for free!
Where will Donations go?
All donations will go to support USC’s work with seed-saving farmers in remote regions of the East African country of Ethiopia.
Our R4B-Ottawa goal is to raise $12,500 to support the community-based agricultural, biodiversity and environmental initiatives of our local partner, EOSA, the Ethio-Organic Seed Action.
EOSA works with women and men farmers to help ensure they have a diverse and healthy seed supply in order to grow nutrititous food for their families.
Location: Tamarack Ottawa, ON
