About Us

The Run Walk Ride Fundraising Council was launched in May 2007 to support the professionals who manage the events that raise in excess of $1 billion a year for American charities

We seek to fill communications gap that has left thousands of event managers without easy access to the statistics and best practice information that could help them improve and expand their programs.

We kick off our efforts on May 18, 2007 at the 1st Annual Run Walk Ride Fundraising Conference in New York. Event managers, consultants and industry suppliers will gather to learn and connect at the Crowne Plaza Times Square. Click here to learn more.
