Training For RAAM!!! Top Buttons Amazing Cause

48 minutes

Race Across America is a fundraising event to support the programs of Top Buttons. But the event and the cause absolutely connect! The young women we serve are facing hardships on their life journey much of which is out of their control. They need a system of support to help them believe in their abilities and to help them achieve their goals. Just like the young women Top Buttons serves, our team couldn’t achieve success Racing Across the country in 8 days without a support crew! We all need individuals who believe we can succeed and those who are willing to help up achieve our goals. We at Top Buttons are a SUPPORT CREW for the women we serve.
