Top fundraising team
Add a little more fun and competition to your Harvest Marathon Relay by joining the fundraising challenge. There are no minimum fundraising requirements, but you are encouraged to set a goal of at least $1000. Every dollar donated to the Houston Food Bank provides the equivalent of three meals. The Houston Food Bank serves 1.1 million food insecure people in the Greater Houston area though a network of over 1500 partners, so every dollar makes a difference.
There will be prizes for the top fundraising team. If you can't beat the speedsters out on the track, you can at least beat them where it counts!
