CEF Racing Team

- The CEF Racing Team completed their participation in their fifth LA Marathon last month and this year’s participation had the largest span of participants representing communities from Santa Maria to La Verne, with all five pastoral regions being involved.
  
  We are so appreciative of our sponsors and runners who raised a generous amount of funds for tuition assistance across the three counties of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Now in it's fifth year, CEF Racing Team is having their biggest year with nearly 50 individuals fundraising on behalf of Catholic Education Foundation students. From Catholic school students, faculty and staff as well as others who wanted to support the Racing Team's cause, these runners participate in either the LA Big 5K, the Charity Half Marathon or the Los Angeles Marathon in March of each year. Their goal is to raise funds to support students who desire a Catholic education.

To put it in perspective, one runner reaching their goal of raising $1,000 is equal to one more student being able to receive tuition assistance from CEF. To date, over $200,000 has been raised over the past five years.
