We Did It!

Thank you for volunteering, running and fundraising for the Gazelle Foundation Austin Marathon Gives program. because of you:

We qualified for a $10,000 matching grant from the Moody Foundation!

✅ Volunteers at Mile 11 — You brought cheer, hydration, and energy!

✅ Runners — Each step is closer to a powerful goal!

✅ Donors and Fundraisers — Your support brings hope and life-changing impact!

Because of you, clean water will flow! Cement, rocks, pipes, tools, shovels, and spigots can be purchased to help build clean water systems one village at a time.

This means we can provide even more clean water to the people who need it most in Burundi. Clean water is foundational to reversing the cycle of poverty. It means access to better health, stronger communities, jobs, education, and most of all: hope.

We couldn’t have done it without you and we appreciate your efforts in helping us meet our goal.

Special thanks to water stop volunteers from Austin Front Runners, Gilbert’s Gazelles, and St. Andrews. We appreciate your unwavering commitment to making clean water accessible.

Congrats Runners

And big shout out to every athletes who ran and fundraised as part of the Gazelle Foundation Team! Congrats on making every mile have an impact in Burundi. Thank you!

Every step you take and dollar you raise goes toward the cement, rocks, pipes, tools and materials we use to build clean water systems one village at a time. Since 2006, we’ve built 76 water systems, transforming lives in Burundi.
