  2. What is The Inflatable Run?

    The Inflatable Run is a 5K (3.1mile) race for those looking to have a good time.  It’s not about your time; not about being competitive; not about winning… it’s about having a great time with your friends and raising money.  Multiple inflatable obstacle-course style activities are set up as part of the race.

    Simply register and choose the division and team you are a part of! Then you can get started on your fundraising and training!

  4. I never run. Will I be able to finish the 5K race?

    HA! Of course you will!  It’s only 3.1 miles and even slower walkers should have no problem walking the course in less than 50 minutes.  Whether you are a first time runner or an experienced one, running with Team Lavi Yachad in The Inflatable Race is all about having a good time

  5. I am concerned that I might not be able to raise the required funds. Will I be able to do it?

    Even if you’ve never raised money before, simply explaining to your friends and family what you are doing and why you are doing it, should ensure that you are going to surpass your fundraising goal.  Since there is no fundraising minimum, please select your goal with an amount you feel you could reach.  Yachad is a worthwhile organization and our runners are enthusiastic about its mission. You will be surprised how friends, family, and co-workers will respond to your effort to run, walk or even crawl for the 3.1 miles to help this wonderful cause. Remember, you are not asking people to make donations… you are asking them to sponsor you and support you in your efforts!

  6. I got an email letting me know I was sponsored. When I went to my personalized page on Team Yachad’s website, I didn’t see the donation listed. What’s going on?

    What happened is that one of your donors made a pledge towards your fundraising goal.  Once the check is received by Team Yachad, the amount and donation will be listed on your personalized page.
