BOMF Turns TWO

By Steve | Published: July 2, 2009

Yet another way to make a difference. I am a big supporter of the work that these folks do…

Back on My Feet turns two years old tomorrow and you can help with their $100,000 birthday campaign. Back on My Feet is a non-profit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of the homeless population by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem.

BOMF has developed into a very comprehensive program that operates in Philadelphia and Baltimore with more than 170 members and 600 volunteers.

They have helped 44 members re-enter the workforce and 31 members move from living in a shelter to living on their own, or back with their family. It’s incredible.

They have just $3,500 left to fundraise today and tomorrow and anything you could give would be appreciated. You can donate online at http://www.active.com/donate/bomfbirthday2, or mail a check to:
