This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quick-read guide to Organizing a 5K. ASK ANYONE WHO HAS ORGANIZED A 5K or other race, and they'll likely agree: Race direction isn't for the faint of heart, people who want to maintain a schedule full of free time, or for those who want to take credit for all the things that go right. It's not for people whose feelings get hurt easily, who don't like working with others, or who are unwilling to listen and improve. On the other hand, a race is a great way to raise awareness and funds for a cause, bring together a community, and encourage healthy activity for participants of all ages-and can be an amazing experience for runners, volunteers, sponsors, and even the race directors if everything goes right. This quick-read guide will give you the basics of organizing a 5K and give you a leg up on putting together a plan for a safe and memorable event. No matter what the scale, a common thread among race directors and timers is that those who succeed at running a race don't do it simply by accident or by buying the most expensive equipment. They take the time to plan out the event, to understand and work with their audiences, are eager to share what they know, and are willing to remain teachable. We don't want to make mistakes, but if we do make them, we want to make every effort to learn from them.

Download or read book Marathon Woman written by Kathrine Switzer and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to officially run what was then the all male Boston Marathon, infuriating one of the event's directors who attempted to violently eject her. In what would become an iconic sports image, Switzer escaped and finished the race. This was a watershed moment for the sport, as well as a significant event in women's history. Including updates from the 2008 Summer Olympics, the paperback edition of Marathon Woman details the life of an incredible, pioneering athlete, and the lasting effect she's had on women's sports. Switzer's energy and drive permeate the pages of this warm, witty memoir as she describes everything from the childhood events that inspired her to succeed to her big win in the 1974 New York City Marathon, and beyond.

Download or read book The Science of Giving written by Daniel M. Oppenheimer and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans donate over 300 billion dollars a year to charity, but the psychological factors that govern whether to give, and how much to give, are still not well understood. Our understanding of charitable giving is based primarily upon the intuitions of fundraisers or correlational data which cannot establish causal relationships. By contrast, the chapters in this book study charity using experimental methods in which the variables of interest are experimentally manipulated. As a result, it becomes possible to identify the causal factors that underlie giving, and to design effective intervention programs that can help increase the likelihood and amount that people contribute to a cause. For charitable organizations, this book examines the efficacy of fundraising strategies commonly used by nonprofits and makes concrete recommendations about how to make capital campaigns more efficient and effective. Moreover, a number of novel factors that influence giving are identified and explored, opening the door to exciting new avenues in fundraising. For researchers, this book breaks novel theoretical ground in our understanding of how charitable decisions are made. While the chapters focus on applications to charity, the emotional, social, and cognitive mechanisms explored herein all have more general implications for the study of psychology and behavioral economics. This book highlights some of the most intriguing, surprising, and enlightening experimental studies on the topic of donation behavior, opening up exciting pathways to cross-cutting the divide between theory and practice.
