Team UPA Runner obligations:

  • Team UPA runners will send emails to friends and families asking for their sponsorship.  (A template we provide will make it easier for you.)  
  •  We hope that in addition to the "thanks" sent from UPA students, that Team UPA runners will also send a note of "thanks" to those who sponsor them.
