We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season! Our team will be out of the office next week so please expect a delay in response. Wishing you all a very happy and healthy end to 2025, and we cannot wait to cheer you on in 2026 when you run the BOSTON MARATHON!
Fundraising Tip of the Week
As everyone gets ready for their New Year’s resolutions, think about hosting a workout class to help tackle your fundraising efforts! Nowadays, many cycling, yoga, and fitness instructors are willing to donate their time for a cause. Reach out to your favorite teacher or stop by a local studio and ask if they would host a charity class to benefit your run. It’s a great way to bring multiple networks together, raise funds, and build awareness about Stepping Strong.
Fundraising Milestone
