I would like to inform everyone that due to our goal not being met in fundraising, we are sad to say that we must postpone the Kiskeya Run to a later date. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused anyone in their plan for running in Kiskeya this Novemeber. The cost of Gasoline in the Caribbean is escalating to over $8 a gallon. Gasoline and travel is one of the key factors for the fundraising of this run. Our goal: is to raise a minimum of $3,000- in order to meet our transportation needs in Kiskeya. We have collected through donations approximately $400. We would like to thank all of those who donated, and encourage you to PLEASE pass on this information. We cannot do this alone. The organizers and runners appreciate your attention to this matter. However, we obviously still need more funding to make this happen. We will be setting up several ways of fundraising, and will be posting it very soon. NOTE: the runners and organizers pay for their own airfare and lodging for the run. ANOTHER NOTE: THERE IS A CHANGE IN DATE (FEB-MARCH 2012), HOWEVER THE RUN WILL STILL HAPPEN ....AS LONG AS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER!
As this is a grass-roots initiative, the organizers are seeking funds to assist with the hosting of this historic indigenous spiritual gathering; the first of its kind to be held in Kiskeya in about 500 years
We are respectfully seeking your financial assistance, which will provide logistical support for local runners and meals at the main gathering and ceremonies.
