Every Mile You Run Creates Opportunities for NYC Youth

🏃‍♂️ Expand Mental Health Support – Your fundraising provides free running-based mental health programs that help youth develop confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being.

🎓 Open Doors to College & Leadership – We offer mentorship, financial literacy workshops, career exploration, and leadership training—helping young people prepare for their futures.

🎨 Arts & Culture Through Running – Our arts enrichment runs take youth to museums and cultural institutions, broadening their world through movement and creativity.

🏅 Running Races & Community Events – Your support covers entry fees, race-day logistics, and transportation so youth can experience the joy and empowerment of running events.

👟 Running Shoes & Gear for Kids in Need – Many young runners lack access to quality running shoes and apparel. Your fundraising ensures every child can participate without barriers.
