FOR BETTER LIFE Ministries for Pittsburgh Marathon 2024

OUR MISSION

FOR BETTER LIFE is a ministry supported by The Arabic Christian Church of Pittsburgh to help the immigrant families find a better life in the city of Pittsburgh. 

Resettled in a foreign country, refugees face the insurmountable challenges of learning a new language, providing for large families with scarce job opportunities and integrating in a culturally different society. 

This coming Pittsburgh Marathon 2024, FOR BETTER LIFE Ministries is participating with a running team that includes refugees families. By running as part of our team, refugees will boost their sense of INTEGRATION and BELONGING in their new home, our city of Pittsburgh. 

Please consider supporting us by:

• RUNNING WITH US the 5k run on Saturday May 4th 6:30-9:00AM

• RUNNING FOR US the half or full marathon on Sunday May 5th.

(Upon registering please participate in "Run for a Reason" and select "For Better Life" from the drop-down menu)

• VOLUNTEERING in the 5K water stop Saturday May 5th 6:30-9:00AM.

• DONATING or FUNDRAISING

YOUR SUPPORT will be directed exclusively to the social and financial support of the refugees families. Part of the funds will be dedicated to support their rent payment, furnishing, purchase of winter clothing and for emergency medical situations. Another part will help us establish a micro-loan borrowing system to encourage them to launch small businesses. 

A wholehearted Thank You
