💖 Event Proceeds

PROCEEDS from this event benefit the formation of Ware in the World Foundation. Proceeds will be going to Miss Pam's Ranch, a working ranch that teaches troubled youth to ride, do chores, build esteem, and set goals. Miss Pam RUNS her ranch from a wheelchair. We are still trying to raise funds to repair the travel chair we gifted her last year. Plus, many other projects. We are earning money to put on a Ware in The World 5k in Tanzania, Africa to inspire a village of youth to aspire in running.
