Travel Through Trauma (TTT) es una organizaci&oacute;n sin fines de lucro con sede en Los &Aacute;ngeles que ayuda a adultos j&oacute;venes desfavorecidos a sanar del trauma y reconstruir sus vidas a trav&eacute;s de terapia, coaching y el poder transformador de viajar en solitario.<hr fr-original-style="" style="clear: both; -webkit-user-select: none; break-after: page; width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;"><h3 fr-original-style="" style="width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;">&nbsp;📅 Detalles del evento</h3>📍&nbsp;Ubicaci&oacute;n: Dodger Stadium, Los &Aacute;ngeles, CA 📆&nbsp;Fecha: S&aacute;bado 7 de marzo de 2026 ⏰&nbsp;Hora: Registro 7:00 AM | Carrera 8:00 AM 💳 Contribuci&oacute;n de inscripci&oacute;n / recaudaci&oacute;n de fondos:&nbsp;$150<hr fr-original-style="" style="clear: both; -webkit-user-select: none; break-after: page; width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;"><h3 fr-original-style="" style="width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;">💙 Por qu&eacute; cobramos $150 (Total transparencia)</h3>Sabemos que esta no es la tarifa de inscripci&oacute;n t&iacute;pica de una carrera de 5K porque esta no es una carrera de 5K t&iacute;pica.

TTT pag&oacute; $2,000 por adelantado para asegurar 40 inscripciones en equipo ben&eacute;fico a trav&eacute;s de The McCourt Foundation (TMF), el anfitri&oacute;n oficial de la LA 5K y LA Marathon. TMF requiere que cada participante ben&eacute;fico cumpla con un m&iacute;nimo de recaudaci&oacute;n de fondos de $150, que se rastrea a trav&eacute;s de su sistema (Haku) para garantizar la transparencia y la responsabilidad en todas las organizaciones ben&eacute;ficas.En la mayor&iacute;a de las carreras ben&eacute;ficas (como la Carrera 5K de Susan G. Komen o la Marcha del SIDA), los participantes suelen comprometerse a recaudar $150-$250, por lo que esta cantidad es est&aacute;ndar para eventos ben&eacute;ficos de 5K.Para hacer la participaci&oacute;n simple y accesible, TTT ofrece estas inscripciones al monto fijo de donaci&oacute;n de $150, que:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Cubre tu oficial inscripci&oacute;n en la carrera LA 5K, y</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Satisface tu m&iacute;nimo de recaudaci&oacute;n de fondos requerido de TMF en tu nombre.</li></ul>Tu donaci&oacute;n de $150 tambi&eacute;n es 100% deducible de impuestos, ya que Travel Through Trauma es una organizaci&oacute;n sin fines de lucro registrada (EIN 93-2751712).Nota: A&uacute;n puedes recaudar fondos para tu inscripci&oacute;n en la carrera de 5K, sin embargo, no haremos un seguimiento del progreso a trav&eacute;s de nuestro sistema.<hr fr-original-style="" style="clear: both; -webkit-user-select: none; break-after: page; width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;"><h3 fr-original-style="" style="width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;">🎁 Beneficios adicionales por donaciones adicionales</h3><ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">$50+: Diario de Viajes con Alma</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">$75+: Diario + Botella de Agua Marca Hydroflask</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">$125+: Todo lo anterior + una sesi&oacute;n gratuita de coaching de vida con la Coach Certificada Brittni Cosgrove</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">$150+: Todo lo anterior y una inscripci&oacute;n 5K patrocinada (beca) para un participante de bajos ingresos, voluntario o ex alumno del programa que de otra manera no podr&iacute;a permitirse unirse. 💙</li></ul><hr fr-original-style="" style="clear: both; -webkit-user-select: none; break-after: page; width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;"><h3 fr-original-style="" style="width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;">🌍 Lo que tu contribuci&oacute;n apoya</h3>Cada d&oacute;lar apoya directamente el programa gratuito de recuperaci&oacute;n hol&iacute;stica de 4 meses de TTT, que incluye:&bull; Terapia semanal informada sobre el trauma y apoyo al bienestar mental &bull; Coaching de vida y financiero para estabilidad a largo plazo &bull; Clases de fitness y defensa personal para confianza y seguridad &bull; Educaci&oacute;n cultural y preparaci&oacute;n para viajes &bull; Un viaje internacional en solitario final que simboliza fuerza, resiliencia y renovaci&oacute;n ✈️<hr fr-original-style="" style="clear: both; -webkit-user-select: none; break-after: page; width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;"><h3 fr-original-style="" style="width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;">🌟 Oportunidad de beca</h3>Si deseas unirte pero no puedes pagar la inscripci&oacute;n de $150, puedes postularte para una beca.
