B.A.A. Announces 2020 Boston Marathonâ Official Charity
Program
BOSTON
– The Boston Athletic
Association has announced the 43 organizations selected for the
B.A.A.’s Official Charity Program for the 2020 Boston Marathon. Seven new
organizations have joined the B.A.A.’s Official Charity Program for the 124th
Boston Marathon, to be run on Monday, April 20, 2020.
Entering
its 31st year, the B.A.A.’s Official Charity Program enables
selected charitable organizations to raise millions of dollars for worthwhile
causes surrounding the annual Patriots’ Day race. In 2019, the program
surpassed the $250 million mark in total funds raised since its inception in
1989. A total of $20.3 million was raised through the 2019 Boston Marathon
Official Charity Program, with an average of more than $10,000 raised per
entry. Combined with the John Hancock Non-Profit Program and fundraising by
other qualified and invitational participants, a race record $38.7 million was
raised this year – a 6-percent increase over 2018.
The
B.A.A.’s official charities began accepting registration submissions in
September. For more information on all 43 charities among the Boston
Marathon Official Charity Program, and to apply to participate in the 2020
Boston Marathon as a member of one of their teams, please visit www.baa.org.
For
the second consecutive year, the Boston Athletic Association will field its own
fundraising team for the Boston Marathon. B.A.A. Charity Team members fundraise
to help expand the B.A.A.’s youth and community initiatives, bringing the
benefits of running and healthy lifestyles to the greater Boston community.
Applications are currently being accepted for the 2020 B.A.A. Charity Team at www.baa.org.
