High Cloud Foundation
High Cloud Foundation's mission is to help alleviate world poverty for children and displaced mothers who are victims of violence throughout the world. One of the primary ways the foundation raises funds is through its running club. Members of the High Cloud Running Team collect pledges as they train for 5-Ks, 10-Ks, half-marathons, marathons, and triathlons. To join the team or find out more about the organization, visit www.highcloud.org.
