Thank You for Being a Friend: What is a 261 Friend and How Can You Become One?


Group of women who run together - 261 Fearless

For the price of one cup of coffee each month, you can help WOMEN around the world become LEADERS in their local communities and share the transformative magic of running with others.

Women like Sonnia in Ecuador, who wants women to feel like everything is possible.

Women like Rica in Greater Boston, who encourages women to take their first running steps.

Women like Michal in Israel, who uses running as a bridge to connect the diversity in her region.

The change we want to see in the world starts by empowering women to step up and speak up. As a 261 Friend, your annual commitment of $60 helps 261 Fearless continue to educate women like Sonnia, Rica, and Michal, so they can inspire others to put one foot in front of the other, boldly chase their dreams, and positively impact our planet.

Click the link to join our circle of 261 Friends and commit to supporting women’s empowerment year after year.  You’ll receive an annual thank you gift as well as your name on our website in recognition of your generosity!

We get by with a little help from our 261 Friends!

“If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then you are an excellent leader.”

Dolly Parton
