The 2024 Race Around the World for Education took place May 1 - 31.
During the 2024 Race Around the World for Education, the MREF aimed to harness the collective generosity of the MR community to support organizations dedicated to ensuring that vulnerable children receive the protection, education, and nurturing they need to thrive.
We are proud to support a diverse group of grantees that share our commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of children.
​
Together, we can race to fill the gaps that threaten to leave our world's most vulnerable children behind.
Thank you to our 2024 sponsors!
