Make a donation or fundraise for your favorite nonprofit

There are several ways to support the nonprofit of your choice.

1.  Make a donation with your runner registration.  You can do this online at active.com or by check/cash.  If you write a check, please make it out to the Great Human Race and put the name of the nonprofit you are supporting on the memo line.  Mail the check to the Volunteer Center of Durham or bring it on race day.

2.  Create an online fundraising page at active.com.  You can create this page at the same time that you register.  It's a fun and easy way to ask family and friends to support you and your favorite nonprofit.
