UC Davis 100 Year Tree PlanThe UC Davis Department of Facilities Management's 100 Year Tree Plan is dedicated to replacing campus trees as they decline or are removed. The goal of the plan is to plant 100 new trees per year for the next ten years, yet potential state budget cuts threaten our capacity to meet the tree quota. The environmental and financial benefits provided by these green assets are too valuable to risk. Funds provided by “Run for Your Lives” will help protect the state and campus investment in our urban forest, and provide extra support to further promote and educate the community about the environmental and economic impact of trees. |

American Stroke AssociationThe American Stroke Association was created in 1997 as a new division of the American Heart Association to bring increased awareness and funding for research and services specifically focused on stroke, the #3 cause of death and #1 cause of disability in the United States. Train to End Stroke (TTES) is a vital fundraising program of the ASA while at the same time TTES trains thousands of walkers and runners to participate in full or half marathons each year. Funds provided by “Run for Your Life” will assist in reducing death and disability from stroke through research, awareness and advocacy. |
