Groups of 5 or more receive a $3 per participant discount, if registered as a member of the group and all medals are mailed to the same address.

Together for Hope is Transforming Rural America: Together for Hope is a rural development coalition engaging the 338 counties of persistent rural poverty in America, divided into four regions: Appalachia, Delta, Black Belt, Rio Grande Valley, and TNT4C (Tribal Nations, Texas, and the Four Corners). We believe asset-based community development is the best first step in fighting poverty in rural space. To that end, we work with communities in order to hear their dreams and begin to take steps toward those visions. Within these communities, Together for Hope holistically fights poverty focusing on four priorities of hope: Education, Health & Nutrition, Housing & Environment, and Social Enterprise.
