Fundraising
Run for Research® is the American Liver Foundation's largest single fundraising program. It relies on every member of the team making a determined effort to raise both money and awareness about the ALF and our mission. The goal for our 2009 team is to raise $1,250,000 and have the most successful season in RFR history. It's ambitious, but we can do it.

Fundraising Help
It is critical for the RFR effort that every member has a successful fundraising experience. We know that fundraising is a new adventure for many runners, so we want to help in any way possible.
Remember that the minimum fundraising amount is $3000, and we hope you will strive for an even higher fundraising achievement. A significant percentage of our runners fundraise over $5000 each season. For more information or assistance, do not hesitate to contact our fundraising leaders on the Runners Council.
