Beirut Emergency Relief Fund & Audi Family Match
Donation protected
Dear friends and family,
In an effort to raise much needed relief funds for Lebanon, I will be running my first half marathon (13.1 miles) on August 29th 2020, as part of the World Largest Virtual Run . I will be representing Lebanon and aiming to raise $13.1K with your help. 100% of the funds raised will go to the Lebanese Food Bank.
My incredible Syracuse family (Aminy Audi, Carolyn and Michael Fischi, Andrea Audi, and my husband Ed Audi) will match up to $13,100 in funds raised during this campaign.
This collective fundraiser is an effort to help support thousands of families and individuals desperately in need of assistance following the catastrophic 8/4 Beirut explosion that left hundreds of people dead, thousands injured, and countless families with their homes and sources of livelihood destroyed.
With your help, every dollar will have double the impact towards fighting hunger and ensuring food security for everyone affected by this tragedy. Any donation you can make is significant, no matter how big or small.
With much appreciation,
Laila
