Morrison-Maierle Running Club Raises $6K for Youth Homes

By Chad Taylor, PE

Last fall, a spirited cohort in Morrison-Maierle’s Missoula office started a running club that set out at noon each Friday on jaunts around town. Inspired by running club camaraderie and a desire to build better communities—three regulars of the club, Chandra Smith, Kaity Clements, and myself formed a Run 4 Kids team.

Run 4 Kids is a fundraiser for Youth Homes, an organization that cares for children who are facing abuse, neglect, emotional trauma, and substance abuse problems. Similar to a jog-a-thon for adults, teams gather pledges to run or walk one of the Missoula Marathon events.

Morrison-Maierle’s team raised the most funds overall for Youth Homes

Although COVID-19 threw a bit of wrench into the works, and the Marathon switched to a virtual event, we continued to fundraise like mad. On May 7 alone, we inspired our friends, coworkers, and families to donate $2,500. This feat was amplified by a matching donation associated with Missoula Gives, the annual day of giving. In the end, our team ended up raising $6,100 for Youth Homes (the most of any fundraising team).

At Morrison-Maierle, we believe “building better communities” can manifest itself in a variety of ways. We are honored to support vulnerable youth in the area.
