Azalea Charities, Inc. Run For Wounded Warriors

Team Azalea Charities (TAC) represents a group of athletes who combine their love of running with a desire to help wounded warriors around the world. As a Marine Corps Marathon Charity Partner, Azalea Charities provides members with a guaranteed place in the Marathon in return for a commitment by the athlete to raise money to benefit the Azalea Charities Aid for Wounded Warriors initiative. For 2019 Team Azalea Charities is once again using Haku, an online registration & fundraising system that allows athletes to set up their own webpages with a personal message and photo. This easy-to-use tool can receive online donations and generate receipts, so a participant doesn’t have to handle any cash transactions. Once you have registered with us you should anticipate receiving a weekly e-mail (usually on Friday's) from out TAC Coordinator, Doug Taggart. Recognizing that coordinating 200+ runners is best done with e-mails, please ensure that your e-mail address is correct and kept current up until the 2019 MCM. Thanks for your support and participation with Azalea Charities, Run for Wounded Warriors for the 2019 Marine Corps Marathon.

As a supporter of Team Azalea Charities, Run for Wounded Warriors for the 2019 Marine Corps Marathon (MCM), the MCM 10K the NEW for 2019 50K, or supporting our cause with your own bib from another source, you will be receiving one of our running shirts via the US Postal Service after you have raised at least $150 as reflected in your individual fundraising page.   Our plan is to have the 2019 shirts available for mailing in August.  This approach to distributing shirts will be used in 2019 in lieu of us providing you with shirts at the Health & Fitness Expo being held the Friday & Saturday before the MCM.  It is our hope that mailing you a shirt in advance of the MCM will motivate you to wear it during your training and also during the MCM and similarly be motivated to not only meet but exceed the minimum fundraising goals we ask you to achieve.   Our 2018 shirts looked like below.
