Support the Bridging the Gap Fund
The Bridging the Gap Fund was created to benefit the Women’s Business Alliance, a program of the Entrepreneur Fund (501c3) that is dedicated to supporting women at every stage of entrepreneurship. The funds raised go towards programming that directly supports local women business owners.
By donating to the Bridging the Gap Fund or becoming a fundraiser through your race registration local women entrepreneurs will directly benefit.
The Duluth Women's 10 Mile has raised over $25,000 since the first run in 2021. This year our goal is to hit the $10,000 mark! Help us reach this goal by running, donating and fundraising.
