2021 Winter Direct Impact Project
A Winter Gift of Wonder. This winter, our worldwide Fanthropy Running Clubs community is focusing our Direct Impact Project (DIP) on the importance of early brain and language development through the power of reading books to young children from birth. We’re going to collect new picture and board books for young children (target ages 1 to 5) for delivery to multiple facilities that will put them into the hands of those who need them most. THE GOAL: Our community is […]
2021 Summer Direct Impact Project
RTI Summer Direct Impact Project. Period. UPDATE: We started out with an ambitious goal of 200,000 period supplies, a stretch goal of 250,000 and an estimate of 20 pallets. In the end, we donated over 450,000 period supplies including 48 total pallets, and each of the four Alliance for Period Supplies locations will get over 100,000 supplies per location! It’s time to address a health crisis: one that existed long before the turmoil of the past 18 months, but intensified […]
2020 Winter Direct Impact Project
This group, this community, this family of fanthropists has done some incredible things over the years, no matter the challenges. You might say we’ve “stuck together” through it all. It’s time once again to see what we can do when we direct our energy towards one goal: bringing a smile to the face of kids who need it the most. We couldn’t be more pleased to announce that the Winter 2020 DIP will be supporting Noah’s Bandage Project. The organization […]
2020 Summer Virtual Direct Impact Project
The RTI 2020 Summer Virtual DIP Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had made the decision to cancel our physical Direct Impact Project for Summer 2020. This did not mean we had to cancel the concept of directly impacting local organizations, nor the opportunity to support our past charity partners during this time. We can’t help wanting to do all we can for them, but do it safely! To make that happen, we’re taking the energy, passion, and power of […]
2019 Winter Direct Impact Project
As is the custom during any Direct Impact Project we challenge our community with, the goal numbers have been blown away! We tasked the members of our multiple Fanthropy Running Clubs to accumulate a goal of 200,000 diapers to assist The National Diaper Bank Network in getting supplies to areas around the United States where they are in the most need. We only gave them three weeks to do so, and then put the Herculean task upon a team of volunteers who […]

We challenged fanthropists to collect and ship in school supplies for Simon Says Give’s High Five for Supplies® drive to use in a world record attempt to pack over 8,000 backpacks at the Mall of America this coming July 27, 2019.

2018 Winter Direct Impact Project
Over the last three years, the Witches and Wizards of Potterhead Running Club have come together to donate scarves, socks, coffee, animal shelter supplies, humanitarian aid items, and, of course, a whole lotta bandages. It’s time to make some magic again! There is no specific charity beneficiary for this Direct Impact Project (DIP); it’s all about showing strangers kindness with a simple, but incredibly important, gift: the final Direct Impact Project for 2018 will be donating warm, knit winter hats […]
2018 Summer Direct Impact Project
Noah Wilson was diagnosed with cancer in April of 2014 at the age of six, but never let it change his passion to help others. He always had a huge heart and was constantly looking for ways to help people. His love for others did not change even when he was facing a devastating diagnosis. When his treatment began, he found himself getting pokes almost daily. The hospital where he was being treated did not have ‘cool’ bandages, leaving the […]
2017 Winter Direct Impact Project
2017 WINTER DIRECT IMPACT PROJECT On September 20th, Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico and devastated the island. Two months later, over half the island is still without power and the process of recovery is taking a long time. We can’t do anything to impact power needs, fuel supplies or infrastructure…but we CAN give the people of Puerto Rico one thing: Hope. During the long days of recovery, one key element of Puerto Rican culture is missing: COFFEE! We […]
