Love on the Run has been made possible over the years by generous donations of time and effort given from countless volunteers. The collected efforts of these individuals is the main reason that so many hearts are filled year after year.
There are many ways to help. we are always looking for:

Helper Cupids- There are many tasks that need extra love before and during the Love on the Run event. If you’re interested in helping with anything from bag assembly, typewriter trouble shooting, ushering during the open house, or anything else you can think of, we could sure use your help!
Delivery Cupids- Know your way around town? We’ve got just the job for you! every year, we’ve delivered a growing number of love notes thanks to our fantastic delivery volunteers! Whether you’ve got all day, or even just an hour or two- spending time as a delivery cupid is sure to be one of the best things you could do to get yourself into the mood on Valentine’s day.
sponsors- each year we’ve had a variety of delicious treats, fun photos, and fantastic goodies that have added to Love on the Run to make it special. if you have a local business and you’d like to donate a service or product, please let us know!

We are raising money for trademarking Love on the Run. This event is, and always has been, a free event focused on giving love back to the local community. This year will be our 5th year of hosting Love on the Run, and our goal is to trademark the event for use in other cities regionally and even nationwide. The purpose of trademarking the event is to protect the charm and simplicity of Love on the Run and keep it free for the communities that participate. SO to get the ball rolling, we’ve launched a Kickstarter Campaign!! Check out our Kickstarter video for a bit more info.
When this Kickstarter campaign reaches its goal, we’ll have the funds that we need to create a how-to manual that will draw from our years of experience with this event. This manual will include everything from tips on locating and servicing typewriters that are almost 100 years old, to ideas on organizing delivery of each and every note in your community. The trademarking will help us ensure that the Love on the Run event and the ideas and values that it was created from will be upheld no matter how many cities participate.
Now- just imagine all of that momentum, energy, and love in your city. What would your love note say?
Please do what you can to help us reach our goal. We have less than 30 days to do it! And tell ALL of your friends, too! Let’s put some more thought and meaning back into Valentine’s day. One bottle at a time! CLICK HERE to help!
