J.B. Hoover to run Seattle Marathon to Raise Money for ARI Scholarship
Last year J.B. Hoover, AFARI Development Coordinator, ran the full Seattle Marathon intending to raise a full scholarship for one extra person to attend the ARI training program. One full scholarship is $16,140.
With your great support, J.B. was able to raise about $4,000 or almost 1/4th a scholarship. This, combined with other donations, funded a wonderful woman from Liberia who works with the Concerned Christian Community which is helping with the rebuilding efforts in Liberia since the ending of the civil war.
This year J.B. hopes to raise a full scholarship!
Please download the flier which gives the details about how you can make a pledge and support an extra scholarship for a participant. It would be great to have your support again this year!
