The Oakland Rising All-Star team has a New Year’s resolution to RUN the 510 in 2012 and we’re starting with a strong team to represent at the Oakland Running Festival. JOIN OUR TEAM TODAY and strengthen not only your own heart muscle but also the collective heart muscle of our city by helping us raise sponsorships to resource our civic engagement campaigns to mobilize and exercise the vote of Oakland’s low-income, immigrant, and voters color to tip the scale for progressive social change!
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER TODAY. When you register you receive our discounted price for your race and you can get started with your personal campaign page to raise sponsorship dollars to support our cause. Funds from sponsorships will support Oakland Rising’s 2012 campaigns like the Millionaire’s Tax that will help Californians restore prior cuts to public schools and critical social services like preschools.
BE A VOLUNTEER.
Our team is also recruiting friendly volunteers to help out at our water stop along the course of the marathon. We’ll be situated near Lake Merritt. We could really use some extra helping hands. Come join the fun! To volunteer email [email protected] today.
