Dear Rotary Central Melbourne
Given the long standing partnership that the club has with Concern Australia’s STEPS Program, it occurred to me to invite you, your workplace, community group or people you know to support one of our major fundraisers for our work with young people experiencing homelessness through joining our Run Melbourne team this year.
Last year we raised $23,048.41 and our target for 2020 is $20,000, however we would be thrilled to exceed this.
By way of background, each year Steps Outreach Service has a team of runners and walkers take part in Run Melbourne to raise much needed funds for Steps. Since 1985, Steps has provided long-term relational and practical support to young people who are experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness.
We would love Rotary Central Melbourne to join our team in Run Melbourne 2020! Participants can take part in either a 5km walk/run, 10km run or a half marathon on Sunday July 26th 2020around Melbourne to help us raise funds so that Steps can continue for another year.
Early bird pricing finishes on April 23rd so save on registration by getting in early.
People interested in being part of our ‘Steps for Youth Homelessness’ team can email grace.baulch@concernaustralia.org.au and she will send you more details on how to register and start a fundraising page.

Thank you for your ongoing passion for our work and for all you do to invest in making the world a better place for young people.
Much Grace.
Michelle
