The ASICS Falmouth Road Race in Falmouth, Massachusetts, has announced its list of charity participants for its 52nd annual race taking place on August 18, 2024.
Runners can gain early access (or guaranteed entry) into the popular event by raising funds for a charity through the Numbers for Nonprofits program, which is presented in partnership with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund, who have been participating in the program for 22 years.
The program has helped raise over US$63.7 million since 2000, which includes a record-breaking US$7.2 million raised at the 2023 event. Runners are invited to reach out to a charity team captain to learn about joining their team.
“We are honoured to continue our partnership with the Falmouth Road Race and are helping to support more than 211 other local non-profits through this beloved race,” said Jan Ross, Assistant Vice President of Running Programs for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.
“Our support of this event allows us to share the extraordinary work Dana-Farber is doing in cancer care and research with the community, and also highlights the progress other charities are making as well.”
In addition to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund, the ASICS Falmouth Road Race charity runners will be raising funds for 211 non-profit organizations at the 2024 event, including:
- Community Health Center of Cape Cod
- Citizens for Juvenile Justice
- Recovery Without Walls
- Wings for Falmouth Families
“I’m so excited to be continuing our partnership with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund to support the Number for Nonprofits program,” said Andrea Norris, Program Manager at Falmouth Road Race.
“This program allows us to highlight so many amazing Massachusetts-based charities that do important work in our community. I look forward to seeing all the highly motivated and passionate charity runners who will fundraise and run the race for what will be another fantastic fundraising event.”
Organizations seeking to be a part of the Numbers for Nonprofits program must be a Massachusetts-based 501(c)3 organization and must submit an application to be considered. The application window is open from August 31 to October 31 each year.
