On March 21, 2010, the Fresh Air Fund-Racers joined 15,000 other runners and multitude of fans in the NYC Half-Marathon to help raise funds for the Fresh Air Fund. Their hard work paid off as they were able to raise a whopping $100,000.00 for Fund programs! Working as charity partners for the NYC Half-Marathon for four years now, the Fresh Air Fund-Racers have raised close to $400,000.00 for The Fresh Air Fund.


The Fresh Air Fund is an independent, not-for-profit agency that has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877.
