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.
Thank you to the schools who helped make this happen by either participating in the running events or sponsoring the CEF Racing Team:
