In June 2020, we hosted two black lives matter runs to raise funds for the naacp, black lives matter, represented foundation, and the color of autism. we ended up raising $56,000 in just two weeks for these four nonprofit organizations!
Given the overwhelming success of this initiative, Fast Feet NYC has decided to make this an ongoing monthly series. Each month, we will partner with a different nonprofit organization. All donations will be split equally between Fast Feet NYC and a partnering nonprofit.
We run to promote inclusion. We run to show support of the Black Lives Matter movement. We run to raise funds for nonprofits that are investing in and supporting the black community locally, nationally, and internationally.
Here’s the idea: Head to a track near you. For one hour, try to run or walk as many laps as you can. For each lap completed (or 1/4 mile run), donate $1 to our monthly campaign. Encourage your friends and family to match your donation.
Our next run is scheduled for Saturday, November 21.
Time: 10-11AM
Location: McCarren Park Track, Brooklyn
Nonprofit: Represented Foundation
