Thank you to Make a Difference runners!

Run to Make a DifferenceEvery day, refugees and immigrants in our community courageously meet challenges most of us will never face.

Imagine the courage it takes to walk away from everything familiar and start a new life for your family.

ReWA's first "Run to Make a Difference" team showed their support for the courageous refugee and immigrant families who meet these challenges every day by meeting a challenge of their own:

ReWA's Run to Make a Difference team participated in the 2006 Seattle Marathon!

They pledged to raise $500 or more for ReWA’s programs and services directly benefiting women and families, and ReWA provided fundraising support, registered the team and supported runners from day one of training through their big day on Sunday, November 26th.

Team members raised more than $6,500 to support ReWA's programs!
