Athletes Serving Athletes (ASA) is a non-profit organization that brings people together to experience the joy, excitement, and thrill of competition. ASA offers innovative athletic training, supportive mentor relationships, and high quality endurance events for athletes living with disabilities. ASA uses athletic activity as a catalyst for personal development—improving physical fitness, increasing self-esteem and empowering challenged youth to meet their highest potential. We inspire all people to give of themselves and live more active lifestyles, pursuing a high quality of life and achievement.   Our  WINGMAN Program is specifically designed to empower ASA athletes living with little to no mobility, but whose hearts hold the desire to race in mainstream running events, the opportunity to compete. Each of these ASA athletes is supported by his or her own unique WingMan Team.  We look to volunteers to raise money and awareness for Athletes Serving Athletes serving as a WingMan or a member of the ASA Road Crew which does not physically “push” an athlete.

Chesapeake Conservancy is the premier environmental nonprofit organization working to conserve land, restore streams and empower communities with data in the entire Chesapeake watershed. Our mission is to conserve and restore the natural and cultural resources of the Chesapeake Bay watershed for the enjoyment, education and inspiration of this and future generations. As environmental conditions continue to change, we focus on preventing problems before they arise rather than addressing them after the fact. We serve as a catalyst for change, advancing strong public and private partnerships, developing and using new technology and empowering environmental stewardship.

 

We are looking for volunteer fundraisers to join our team this year to support the Chesapeake Conservancy. Your support will help us conserve and restore the lands and waters of our Chesapeake home for the enjoyment and benefit of all who live here today and for future generations to come.

Mission Statement: MS4MS (Mission Stadiums for Multiple Sclerosis) is an Annapolis based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that uses sports and entertainment as a platform to raise awareness of MS, while raising funds to support MS research at the top centers in the world, as well as supporting individuals/families financially impacted by multiple sclerosis. 

Charity Overview: Throughout the year, MS4MS hosts various sports and entertainment focused fundraising and awareness events to support the fight against multiple sclerosis. The events are created with the intention of using the color orange, which is the official awareness color of MS, to attract attention and generate discussion to share information on MS. The organization leverages its trademarked slogan, “#spreadingORANGE” and leans on its 4 pillars. Awareness. Hope. Support. Action. Together, we bring awareness to this terrible disease. Bring hope to all those impacted by MS. Support them every step of the way. And take action to help find a cure.
