The official charity of the Badwater Ultramarathon is the Challenged Athletes Foundation. One of the goals of the race is to raise awareness of, and funds for, this organization.
The Challenged Athletes Foundation was created on the belief that people of all abilities should have the opportunity to pursue a life full of physical activity and of sports. Be they recreational or in pursuit of a gold me dal at the Paralympic Games, people with a physical disability are limited only by their access to funding. You may donate online in a simple, secure website hosted by kintera.org on behalf of CAF by clicking here.

Click here for links to the Lone Pine Chamber of Commerce, Good Will of Santa Monica, and the Las Vegas Rescue Mission. Thanks to Elizabeth Mullen of www.litterproject.com for her help with this. |
