From Start to Finish
Lakes of Love is a student-run club at Dos Pueblos High School, which takes involved and determined students and allows them to help the community by organizing a race that benefits cancer research. The attitude of the Lakes of Love club is not raising money for personal gain, but rather to raise as much money as we can in order to make a difference in the life of someone else. The club has raised over $10,000 for cancer research.
The club was originally founded at Goleta Valley Junior High, in 2010. In 2010, the group of eleven students staged the race with a budget of under $500, yet they raised over $3,100, all of which was donated to CureSearch. A year later, the club moved to Dos Pueblos where it gained new members and new momentum! Now with experience, the club was able to stage a highly-professional looking and functioning race, and raise nearly $3,000 for CureSearch.
Now in 2012, with two years of experience and the largest group to date, the club is determined to raise more money than in years past (maybe even combined)! The goal remains the same, to try to make a difference in others lives. To truly live up to this mission the club has decided to donate the proceeds of the 2012 race to Cure Search for Childhood Cancer.
