Fourth Annual Race 4 Relief | This is our time to give back!
Race 4 Relief
Helping veterans and others get back on track!
Texas State University - San Marcos SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) and Caritas of Austin are partnering up on a project to help “provide a service continuum for those experiencing poverty that begins with a safety net and links them to resources to achieve self-sufficiency.” The 4th Annual Race 4 Relief is a 5K run and a 1-mile family/pet walk that raises money to support SIFE projects and help the veterans and others less fortunate, who benefit from Caritas of Austin. Students and community members of Central Texas are invited to come out and change lives by participating in the 5K or 1-mile race.

What is the purpose of Race 4 Relief?
The purpose of Race 4 Relief is to raise money to support SIFE projects and help provide impoverished veterans and others with hope and connect them to resources needed for self-sufficiency. In the United States, 26% of the homeless population is veterans and 8.8% are between the ages of 18 to 30. In Austin, Texas alone, 1 in 5 homeless residents is a veteran and furthermore, the numbers of homeless female veterans are rising. Caritas of Austin envisions a community where there is respect for all individuals, hope for those experiencing poverty and opportunities for self-reliance. Help us to give back to those who gave their lives to fight for your freedom.

Why should we help?
We live in a land of abundance. Our fortunes should inspire us to help others help themselves. By donating, we are helping to give impoverished veterans, their families and others with an opportunity to better their lives. While we cannot take away their struggle, we can help them to set a foundation for a brighter future. Please help Texas State SIFE and Caritas of Austin fight hunger, homelessness and poverty.
