		Running For A Cause
		On October 19th, 2008 The YESS Institute will be participating in the Third Annual Denver Marathon! So far we have two relay teams running comprised of staff members, volunteers, board members, and mentors. All participants will be running as a relay team, while raising funds for The YESS Institute at the same time. We are asking friends and family of The YESS Institute to support our teams as they participate in The Denver Marathon. All money raised will go directly to our programs! For those of you who are able, we are asking for support on three levels: For every mile run (there are 26 of them!): GOLD a donation of $10. $260 SILVER a donation of $5 $130 BRONZE a donation of $1 $26 While we are asking for these levels of support, really any contribution you or your family is able to make at this time would be greatly appreciated! Donations in the form of a check can be mailed directly to The YESS Institute at the address on the bottom of this page.
