Can we raise $600 in one day???

I am captain for the Volunteer Team of the YV5K (Team "Make a Difference"), and we are currently in 3rd place for fundraising. We are $600 away from 2nd place (that team has raised $2100), and YOU can help us move up in the rankings!
Here is how you do it:
* Click here to go to my team's webpage.
* Click either Join Team or Support Team. Spirit Runners (you don't have to make it to the actual event) can join the team for $15, and you get a t-shirt! Runners are $18. Or, you can pitch in $5 or however much you would like to support us. You can either support the team at large, or click on my name to specifically support me.
Where is the money going? All of the proceeds of the race benefit three programs:
* Transitional Living - Support young adults aging out of the child welfare system in TN, MA, NC, TX and D.C. Your funding helps provide counseling support, job preparation skills, financial management skills, and much more to an often forgotten group of young people.
* Spiritual Life - Support this voluntary program for the children in residential treatment. We provide spiritual activities each week to children who want to participate in this program, and it is completely funded through private donors.
* Mentoring - Support recruitment, training, and ongoing support to mentors across the state of Tennessee and Georgia. Mentors provided much need positive adult role models to teens in our residential programs.
Thank you for your support!
