ANNOUNCEMENTS
- TheFresh Air Fund is looking for runners and sponsors to join the Fresh Air Fund-Racers team for the NYC Half-Marathon coming up on March 21st. This is a great way to participate in NYC’s premier summer road race while helping Fresh Air Fund children.
Over the last year, support from friends like us have helped to give nearly 10,000 inner-city children country experiences that they’re still talking about! Donations given this time of year keep programs strong for the summer months, and helping children is surely a worthy cause. Learn more about the Fresh Air Fund here.
