The Jewish Community Center has been selected as an official 2012 Go! For a Cause non-profit organization, part of the 2012 Go! St. Louis Marathon and Family Fitness Weekend taking place April 14-15. This designation allows the JCC to raise financial support through the team members it supports during training.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to cross a race off of his or her “bucket list,” or anyone looking for an event to kick off a spring/summer fitness program. GO! For A Cause allows individuals to choose to make their participation more meaningful by doing so on behalf of a deserving charity.

Members of Team J receive free event registration (choose to walk or run a 5K, Marathon Relay, Half Marathon or Full Marathon), fitness training, marathon training (optional), a tech training shirt and more. The J also has prizes planned for its top fundraisers. Anyone is welcome to become part of Team J.

The annual GO! St. Louis Marathon & Family Fitness weekend typically attracts 25,000 participants, volunteers and spectators. To register as part of Team J, visit jccstl.com and follow the links to the official forms. Questions can be directed to Kimmi Levinson at [email protected].
