Hi Friends and Family,
We have decided to run the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon with Team for Kids and we are asking for your support of their inspiring mission. Team for Kids is a team of adult runners who raise funds for critical services provided by New York Road Runners youth programs. These programs empower youth development and encourage healthy habits via running and character-building programs in low-income schools and community centers in New York City and across the country.
Making a donation is easy! You can click on the Donate button on this page to give through my secure fundraising site. You can also find information about where to send a check, or how to get your company to match your gift here! All contributions are tax-deductible.
Your giving helps New York Road Runners youth programs to:
- Serve 250,000 students nationwide - including 125,000 in New York City's five boroughs - through free NYRR youth running programs, events, and resources.
- Provide resources necessary to teach kids exercise techniques, nutrition, as well as, developing a healthy body image and fundamental healthy life habits.
- Award college scholarships through high-impact summer programs designed to build young women's self-esteem and confidence while developing leadership skills and a healthy lifestyle.
- Engage students in long-term athlete development (LTAD), a lifelong journey that guides an individual's experience in sports and physical activity to develop healthy minds and bodies for life.
- Help build the next generation of athletes by supporting coaches, educators, and fitness leaders with the tools they need to make a difference.
We both grew up playing sports and participating in athletic events almost everyday which is why we're so passionate about giving more kids access to these same opportunities. Whether you're an athlete, have worked with children, or have kids yourself, we hope you will join us to further this great cause for the next generation!
See you at the finish line!
