Run for a Reason
FOR 412 FOOD RESCUE
Lead Sponsor:
Why run for charity?
By choosing to Run For A Reason, you will be a part of something greater than yourself, make an impact on those around you, and create lifelong memories with “teammates” who become “family.” Let’s face it — there’s no better feeling than crossing the finish line and knowing that those miles counted for MORE! It’s time to connect passion with purpose and Run For A Reason in 2023.
How it works
Runners will have the option to select a charity program to run for in Race Roster. After registering and selecting a charity to fundraise for, charity runners will receive their own fundraising page through Race Roster that they can use to collect donations.
Run for FREE
If a charity runner selects to fundraise for one of our official charities, they will be eligible for a refund on their registration fee (essentially earning a FREE registration!). In order to receive a refund, charity runners must raise a minimum amount of money for the organization they selected. Fundraising minimums vary by event and are listed below. If a charity runner does not reach the minimum, they will not be eligible for a refund. Please note, in order to receive a refund the funds raised must be dedicated to only one official charity.
Sponsorship Opportunities
412 Food Rescue has been a participating charity since 2016, and #MarathonHeroes have raised over
$100,000
in support of feeding people, not landfills.
The Run For A Reason Charity Program, presented by Microsoft, is for passionate runners who want to make a difference and change lives. Connect passion with purpose and commit to support a meaningful cause. Thanks to tens of thousands of runners who have raced for a greater good, more than $13 million has been raised since the program’s inception in 2009. This fundraising program is integral to 412 Food Rescue’s operations.
