Why Fundraise with Newport Spirit Run?
A fun and rewarding way for schools, youth sport teams and other youth causes to raise money — with 100% of what Newport Spirit Run collects on your behalf coming back to your cause.
Turn a beautiful Sunday morning in the back bay into meaningful support for your youth cause. Newport Spirit Run is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways for schools, youth sports teams, and other youth causes to raise money — you rally your community to race, jog, or walk, and we take care of everything behind the scenes.
Set in Newport Beach’s beautiful back bay nearby Corona del Mar High School, it’s a morning of movement, community, and team spirit — and a stress-free way for coaches and parents to raise real funds for their program. Here’s what makes fundraising with Spirit Run so simple and rewarding.
Race, Jog or Walk — Done by 11am
It all happens on a Sunday morning and wraps up by 11am. Whether your team runs, jogs, or walks, it’s an easy, low-pressure way for everyone to take part.
Great Team Bonding
Spend the morning together in the beautiful back bay setting in Corona del Mar High’s backyard — one of the most scenic race locations in Southern California and a perfect backdrop for building team spirit
We Do All the Work
Newport Spirit Run tracks your registrations and donations and provides your school or team a full accounting, so fundraising stays simple and organized for coaches and parents alike.
Your Team Receives 100%
Unlike most fundraising platforms, Newport Spirit Run pays your school or team 100% of what it collects on its behalf, so every dollar collected goes directly to your cause. Newport Spirit Run does not charge any processing or handling fees, although Givestar, the platform for Newport Spirit Run’s online giving pages, charges roughly 3% on donations when the donor opts not to pay the processing fee. In our experience, most donors pay processing fees.
