Iron Dog Participant Creates Speed4Needs to Raise Funds for Charities.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska is one of four beneficiaries.
ANCHORAGE, AK -- Anchorage businessman and first-time Iron Dog race participant John Witte is raising funds for four charities through Speed4Needs.org -- an online sponsorship program tied to Mr. Witte’s inaugural run of the Iron Dog snow machine race.
Before and during the race, individuals, businesses and corporations are encouraged to go to www.speed4needs.org to make a pledge in support of one of four charities included in the Speed4Needs effort. Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Alaska is the only Alaska-based nonprofit included as a beneficiary.
“We are so grateful to be included in Mr. Witte’s efforts to raise funds and awareness for nonprofit organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska through his participation in the Iron Dog Race,” says Taber Rehbaum, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska. “As a result of John’s generosity, and the gifts of those who sponsor him, the lives of Alaska’s children will be changed for the better, forever.”
The Iron Dog is the world’s longest and toughest snow machine race covering over 2,000 miles of remote terrain. The race begins at Big Lake on February 17, travels north to the midway point in Nome, and then heads south to the finish in downtown Fairbanks on February 25th.
Tax deductible contributions in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska can be made through the end of February by going to www.speed4needs.org and clicking on the BBBS logo. Gifts can also be made over the phone by calling Big Brothers Big Sisters at (907) 433-4600.
The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Alaska is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported 1-to1 relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. BBSAK serves an annual average of 1500 children in 20 communities across Alaska.
