THE 777 PROJECT

About 777

WHAT

The 777 Project is a year-long adventure to run 7 ultra marathons on 7 continents in order to raise funds & awareness to build 7 schools with Pencils of Promise (PoP). Traveling to all 7 continents and racing on every terrain and climate ranging from desert heat to Antarctic temperatures to jungles and mountains, the 777 Project covers some of the most challenging races on earth.

WHY

After building a school with PoP in 2012, I wanted to do more. My entire life has changed since pursuing the edges of impossible and this is no different and seeing the lives impacted in 2012 was the most meaningful thing we’ve ever done with IMPOSSIBLE. The 777 project is an extension of that and will be the most challenging item yet. I’d love for you to join the adventure, support an incredible mission and help show that the impossible…isn’t.

The 777 Project is entirely self-funded. 100% of your donation goes directly to PoP.

POP

Pencils of Promise (PoP) is for purpose organization that builds schools, trains teachers and funds scholarships in order to provide educational opportunities to students where education is impossible. Blending business acumen with a humanitarian heart,  PoP rigorously measures the return on investment of every donor dollar they spend.

PoP monitors and evaluates every project and every school ever opened (200 schools and counting) and ensures that each is in full operation and educating students daily. PoP covers operational costs through private donors, events, and companies, and their commitment to transparency allows you to see exactly where your money is going and how it is spent.
