What does Team World Vision raise money for?
Every time you run for Team World Vision, the donations you raise will go towards delivering life-saving food aid and essential relief to help tens of thousands of people in desperate need of food to survive. World Vision works with the
United Nations World Food Programme to provide food aid and essential relief to families in urgent need. The World Food Programme provides the food and World Vision delivers it, and this is where your help makes a big difference.
If you are participating in one of our overseas events (e.g. New York Marathon) then the funds raised may be directed to a different program.
