Breanna's House of Joy Orphanage - Breanna’s House of Joy Orphanage, founded by Bill and Mary Lee Moritz in 2000 is an outreach to orphaned hilltribe village girls in Chiang Mai Thailand who are especially at risk for prostitution and the drug trade. The project was established with only 13 girls from the hilltribes of Thailand and the orphanage now houses 45 girls from five different tribes, who are provided with food, clothing, shelter, education and spiritual leadership by house parents and a staff of eight.

Runners Registration Information

We are looking for at least 42 runners for the “Run For Joy” team. All runners that sign up to run with the team agree to raise at least $1,200 to support the girl that they are sponsoring at Breanna’s House of Joy in Chiang Mai, Thailand. All runners with the “Run For Joy” team will be registered for the race by The New Horizons Foundation and receive a running shirt for the race and a picture of the girl that they will be supporting to wear on their shirt. We will also have a dinner the night before the race to get everyone together as a team and take a team picture and we will have a team booth at the finish line with refreshments. Runners coming from out of town can raise additional funds above the $1,200 to cover their airfare and hotel. Only funds raised above the $1,200 can be used to reimburse travel expenses.

Runners last year used a variety of fundraising techniques to raise their money for the race. When you register with us you will receive a sample fundraising letter that you can send out to your friends and family and some other aids to help you with fundraising. All of the money donated to The New Horizons Foundation to support the Run For Joy will be receipted and the donors will get a charitable tax deduction for their gift.
