I am running in this year's NYC Marathon to help raise money for Team For Kids (NYRRF). I will be helping raise the funds needed to support youth fitness, goal-setting and nutrition programs throughout America and Africa while fulfilling, as a New Yorker, a life-long dream of running the Marathon. Below you will find info on the foundation and how to help with a donation (even $1 helps).
Thanks for dropping by!
Sincerely,
Nikolai
PS: My time was 04:23:36! With only 2.5 months of training (because of weird band schedules), I did the best I could! Plus, I ran with my brother and raised $5,000 for Team For Kids. It was an all around great experience! Thank you all for your help and support!
Mission Statement
New York Road Runners Foundation (NYRRF) was originated in 1998 by New York Road Runners (NYRR). The foremost running organization in the world, NYRR’s premier event is the ING New York City Marathon. The Foundation carries out NYRR’s youth services mission by establishing running-based programs that promote children’s physical fitness, character development and personal achievement in under-served communities. Our programs currently serve more than 50,000 children a week in almost 250 schools and community centers. Having proven successful in New York City, programs are now being established across the United Sates and Africa.
After administrative expenses, 82.6%, or .83 cents of every dollar, goes to NYRR Youth Services. Team For Kids has four consecutive 4-star ratings from Charity Navigator, in the four years they've been evaluated, placing them in the top 8% of all non-profit organizations graded for fiscal management!
