Running of the Bulls for Refugees

Running of the Bulls, Inc., has committed $19,000*

Will you help us raise another $19,000 here?

As a world-traveler, you know what it's like to be a stranger in a foreign land. Now, think of what it would be like if you can't go home, aren't necessarly welcome where you're going, and have no idea where you will live or what you will eat.

That's the reality for millions of Syrians, half of them under 18, who are fleeing the violent civil war in their country.
 

The scale of Syria’s humanitarian crisis is astonishing — 11 million people, half of the country’s pre-war population, have been forced from their homes and 250,000 have died since the war began in 2011. They need our help to get through the worst humanitarian crisis of our time.

Every dollar we contribute makes a powerful difference in the lives of these courageous children and families. Now, and for the future. Please join me by making a gift today — Syrians are counting on our support.

Mercy Corps and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) have been on the ground working since the start of the crisis. Their staff put their lives in danger every day to deliver lifesaving food and relief to children and families trapped inside Syria, but supplies are quickly dwindling.

In surrounding countries, they are also distributing emergency food and supplies, improving access to clean water, providing activities and counseling to help children feel safe again, and helping refugees and host communities learn how to work together. And they'll be there until families can safely return home.

• $11 can provide a family of 6 with a month’s supply of bread

• $30 can help give 50 families access to clean water

• $75 helps provide two refugees with an emergency food kit containing bread, spices, oil, meat and vegetables

• $210 provides an emergency kit for a Syrian family that includes blankets, hygiene supplies, water and cooking tools

Together, we can help families survive this terrible crisis.

Thank you!

*$19,000 is being donated by our charity organization, Personal Philanthropy, Inc. directly to the International Rescue Committee. Donations given on this page will be split equally to support Mercy Corps and the IRC's efforts to assist Syrian Refugees.
