RUN FOR THE CAUSE- is back in 2017: IRIS Mundial is participating as a non-profit organization in the next edition of “Banque Scotia 21K de Montréal” which will take place during the weekend of April 22nd, 2017.
You will have the opportunity to challenge yourself while running for IRIS Mundial by signing up for one of the following races offered: 5K, 10K, 21K (Registration fee discounts apply for runners who raise funds). You will then be able to collect donations through your customized fundraising page that you will have created upon registration. The minimum you need to raise is $50—a goal accessible to all! Our objective is to raise $10 000 to help thousands of people to better see the world as a result of improved access to eye care services, glasses, medication and eye surgeries in areas where these are normally non-existent. For more information about the event, click here.
See below recommendations and links concerning the registration procedures. If last year’s complete sellout of places by December is any indication, we recommend that you register as soon as possible.
Support IRIS Mundial: If you are not a runner but would still like to contribute to this fundraising event and encourage IRIS Mundial’s activities you can do so on line by clicking on “Donate now” once you’ve accessed the link.
We need your support to help thousands of people better see the world!
A huge thank you!
If you have any questions regarding the registration procedures, please do not hesitate to contact
