Pumpkin Spice Virtual 5K: we can build a well!

November 11, 2021

Every step you took helped.

You did it! By joining our virtual 5K event, which took place in October, you supported our Wishing Well project, and we are excited to share that we are able to build one new well in Zambia!

Thank you to all 123 participants who signed up for our Pumpkin Spice Virtual 5K and collectively raised $1,145. All proceeds from the run were added to our Wishing Well donations, which amounted to $4,070. We needed $3,000 to build a hand pump.

A special thank you to our sponsors and volunteers. Some of you sponsored, ran, AND volunteered! We are honoured you chose to join us and that you believe in the importance of bringing clean water to people.

This is what we like to see

Thank you to those of you who sent us messages, pictures, and videos of your 5K, or of you and your team rocking those Pumpkin Spice medals. You are the best!

Maybe we can reach enough funds to build two wells this year?⠀
