Train for Humanity is launching as a small pilot project but if all goes well, in the very near future, we hope to expand and open it up to more athletes who would like to support humanitarian causes . For an idea of where we are heading our long-terms goals for Train for Humanity are listed below:
- Stay committed to working with humanitarian organizations who are focused on sustainability and who directly support affected indigenous populations.
- Obtain an official IRS ruling regarding our 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
- Develop into a global, grassroots website and online humanitarian community where everyday athletes who are in training for endurance events (marathons, bike races, triathlons, etc.) can come to the site, sign up, create their own website (e.g. bobsmith.trainforhumanity.org) and seek sponsorship donations for organizations that are assisting and aiding orphans, children, and refugees of genocide and civil war.
- Use the internet, social media, and blogging to its fullest potential to help raise awareness and funds and alleviate human suffering.
- Promote peace, harmony, and understanding.
- Prove that ‘regular’ people can take initiative, be proactive, and assist others.
