(Pub) Run for the Refugees
Running for a cause: all proceeds from this pub run will benefit the Multicultural Refugee Coalition
The Multicultural Refugee Coalition is an innovative Austin non-profit creating livelihood opportunities for refugees through a unique blending of skills-based education and social entrepreneurship. MRC operates a sewing social enterprise, a burgeoning interpreter training business and a refugee community gardening program. MRC also runs a community center offering free and low-cost job training as well as specific livelihood-focused community support for refugees.
The event will begin on the patio at Little Woodrow's where there will be a representative from MRC to talk about the organization and answer questions. The Austin Beer Run Club has benefited from being a part of the Austin community for over 5 years, and we're excited to give back. This run will be a standard pub run (for those of you who have done one before) but instead of paying us we ask that you donate generously to the MRC.
