HELLO FRIEND! Thank you SO SO much for your support in helping me raise money for this wonderful organization that strives to get more children active and outdoors. I will be sure to give you all the kudos and praise as I HIT THE PAVEMENT myself in New York City. <3

Funds raised by Team for Kids members support NYRR youth and community programs. This includes Rising New York Road Runners, NYRR?s youth program and events platform. Through school-based programs, youth events, and a collection of digital resources, Rising New York Road Runners brings free running and fitness programs to students across the country.

• Team for Kids funds help support programs for children nationwide, including New York City?s five boroughs. These programs help to build students? motivation, confidence, and desire to be physically active for life. 
• Since 2002, Team for Kids members have raised more than $100 million dollars.
• Funding helps pay for training for teachers and coaches, most of whom are volunteers, program and practice supplies, and student incentives.

For most of these kids, running with an NYRR program is their only opportunity to get exercise or play sports. NYRR youth and community programs have been recognized by Partnership for a Healthier America as a leader in the fight against childhood obesity and health issues.
