Team Asha Silicon Valley

Fundraising

We run so they can read
Team Asha runners raise funds for Asha for Education, Silicon Valley chapter, which helps support education initiatives for underprivileged children in India. Since its beginning in 2000, Team Asha has raised over $2.8 million. 100% of funds raised are sent to projects in India.

Team Asha has two seasons of training
Runners can train for one season or both seasons.

Season 1: April - July 2011
Season 2: July - October 2011

Fundraising minimum amount
Each runner is required to raise a minimum amount depending on how many seasons they train with Team Asha.

Train For	Run	Goal	Deadline
Season 1	Half	$1500	August 15
Season 2	Half	$1500	October 15
Season 1 & 2	2 Halves or Full	$2100	October 15

As with training to run a Half or Full Marathon, fundraising can be learned. Most runners in past years have raised more than the minimum required amount, and Team Asha will help you succeed in your fundraising, too!
