Dear Friends/Family,
The Old Man Run Club is comprised of - Kenton Kirby, Dave Starke, and Tom Sheridan. What we lack in speed, we make up for in aches, pains and bad jokes.
We’ve decided to run the 2023 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 our 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.
- 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.
Here are the numbers: We each have to raise $2,620 ($100 for each of the 26.2 miles of the marathon). But we’re fundraising as a team so you don’t have to play favorites or donate three times. We appreciate any support you could give be it $10 or sponsor a whole mile at $100.
Whether you are a runner, have worked with children, or have kids yourself, I hope you will join me to further this great cause!
See you at the finish line!
