A MESSAGE FROM Alexis Sakellariou NYC Marathon Fundraising Page
This November, I will be running the New York City Marathon on November 5th as a part of Team NYJL! The New York Junior League (NYJL) is an organization close to my heart as I am an active volunteer for the NYJL Community Improvement Project Committee. Donate $1/mi or $26.20 to help me reach my $3,500 fundraising goal.
NYJL is a volunteer-powered organization of women bound by one single mission: to improve the lives of women and children in our community.
Almost every night of the week, in neighborhoods across New York City, over 2,400 NYJL volunteers serve more than 250,000 hours of service annually to support community-based organizations delivering services and assistance directly to those in need.
I personally volunteer with the Community Improvement Project Committee. We establish a one-year partnership with an organization to renovate a community space that supports the organization’s mission and increases its impact. Last year, we renovated a community gathering area for Chance For Change, an organization specializing in substance use treatment and mental health services for homeless clients.
With my goal to raise $3,500, 100% of money raised directly support our community partners such as Chance for Change. I will reach my goal if 134 people donate $26.20 @ $1/mi. I am so proud to be running alongside a group of 20 talented women all running for this great cause. Thank you so much in advance for your support!
