Adventures For The Cure Releases Over $10K In Donations

07.19.2009 - Halethorpe, Md. - Adventures For The Cure, the Baltimore-area charitable organization, last week released over $10,000 in supporter's donations to two nonprofit organizations: Kupenda for the Children and Blood:Water Mission.

Kupenda for the Children Donation = $9,000 (initial 2009 campaign)



Kupenda for the Children is a 501 (c)(3) tax exempt Christian-based organization that exists to meet the needs of children, with disabilities. Ultimately the goal is that these children will feel that they are loved and accepted.


Kupenda for the Children received an initial $9,000 from donations from Adventures For The Cure and its donors in support of our winning efforts at the 2009 Race Across America (RAAM), where Adam Driscoll and Patrick Blair won the 2009 RAAM 2-man team division with the help of the crew, family, friends and supporters. Cynthia Bauer, Kupenda's founder and president, upon hearing the news said, "Thank you so much for all you have done for Kupenda. I always feel like I can never express my gratitude enough and don’t know where we’d be without you. Thank goodness we don’t have to know." Donations will go towards operating costs for the office/resouce center and staff, transport to the villages, and emergency medical care.


Since 2006, Adventures For The Cure has teamed with Kupenda for the Children to make a difference in the lives of children with disabilities as shown in this video (below).
