About the Race Team
US Empowered relies on charity athletes to make college possible for Chicago students. Athletes can participate in any registered race or event and US Empowered will support you to the finish! All athletes receive a personalized webpage to make fundraising extrmely easy, and their efforts ultimately change students' lives forever.
Fundraising
US Empowered requires all athletes to raise a minimum of $750 to support the underperforming students we serve. We are committed to supporting your race and fundraising goals.- Beginning in June 2011, you will receive bi-weekly fundraising tips and ideas to help you launch a successful campaign.
Deputy Sponsors
Athletes who raise $1,000 or more are automatically matched with an US Empowered student (Fellow) and invited to build a relationship with that student. Go the extra fundraising mile and become a Deputy Sponsor.

"Being a part of the US Empowered Race Team helped me push through the tough times during training and race day. The constant encouragement, weekly group runs, and emails with updated info and race tips were invaluable! In the end, the Race Team allowed me to achieve my goal, while offering me the opportunity to help students achieve theirs." -Arjuna, 2009 Race Team Member
