ASSISTING FAMILIES IN NEED

08/01/2023

For 12 years the JCMF foundation has been very fortunate to be included in the John Hancock Charity Marathon program. Our awesome runners (3 each year the last 9 years or so) have raised an amazing $40,000 a year with every penny going to fund the important work we do of helping those in need. This year the BAA took back responsibility for the charity program as JH has passed on sponsorship to Bank of America after 15 years. Our foundation doesn’t qualify for the small non-profit category because we don’t meet their criteria. I’m very disappointed as this has been a very lucrative and fun fundraiser for us and our runners, but it is what it is and I’m sure other small non profits who do qualify will do amazing things with the money they’re able to raise. Let me be clear in emphasizing no organization is at fault. Every new relationship/sponsorship comes with change — good for many , maybe not for others but that’s all part of new beginnings. I have a wonderful working relationship with Bank of America, and the BAA will lead a great charity program as they have for many many years. I truly enjoyed being able to offer people the opportunity to fulfill their dream of running Boston when they knew they couldn’t qualify on their own. But I’m hoping there might be some qualifying runners out there who hope to run Boston or any other marathon and who would like to run for a great cause and raise some money for the foundation. We will pay their registration fee of $375 and give them a cool running singlet if they raise at least $2000. Piece of cake considering our charity runners in past years have raised $10,000 ea!!! Please pass this on to your marathoner friends. I know registration for Boston hasn’t yet begun but other marathons are coming up in the fall. Thanks for your help with this!!!
