The D9 10K for $10K Fun Run
Join us on February 23, 2019 at D9 Brewing for a 10K fun run benefitting Whales for Wishes. We're looking to raise $10,000 towards the overall W4W 2019 goal.
10K for $10K Fun Run
Join us for a Saturday morning 10K followed by beers at D9 Brewing (first beer on us)!
D9 has partnered with Whales for Wishes to organize the first "10K for $10K Fun Run.” The goal is to raise $10,000 to benefit the annual Whales for Wishes charity event being held at Resident Culture Brewing later this year.
Come out on Saturday, February 23 at 8:00 AM for a 10K fun run followed by beers at D9 Brewing. Your first beer is on Whales for Wishes and a portion of all subsequent beers go towards W4W as well. The Spice Wagon food truck will be available on site!
You're welcome to come run as an individual, but we're encouraging people to create teams and take part in our team fundraising competition. The team that raises the most money will receive some special prizes and bragging rights for a year.
Free to enter, donations encouraged.
There is no entry fee to run in the D9 10K for $10K Fun Run, however we're suggesting a $20 donation for individual runners (which can be made through official Whales for Wishes donation page). Teams are encouraged to enter our fundraising challenge.

RUNNING TOGETHER IS MORE FUN
Team Fundraising Competition
You're welcome to run alone, but we’re encouraging people to create teams and raise money before the race on February 23. Donations can be made online before the event or at the event itself. When making a team donation, make sure to place your team name in the "How would you like your name displayed?" box in the online donation form! That's how we will do the final tally. The team that raises the most will get a custom-printed running shirt with their team name, special recognition at the Whales for Wishes event as a sponsor, and bragging rights for a year.
