Literacy in Community (LINC) is proud to announce that we have been named an Official Charity Partner for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon, which takes place Sunday, November 3 and is produced annually by the nonprofit New York Road Runners (NYRR). LINC will be among the record 598 official charity partners providing thousands of runners the opportunity to add meaning to their miles.
Just like the marathon, LINC is in all five boroughs, and, we are here every day! Literacy in Community (LINC) equips children with foundational literacy skills essential for academic achievement by empowering families and mobilizing the community. Our team spreads the joy of reading by running and their steps will fund book distributions and reading programs in high-need neighborhoods across New York City.
“New York Road Runners is proud to support the Literacy in Community (LINC) team and the incredible impact they make in the community as they raise important funds to benefit early literacy across New York City” said Christine Burke, NYRR’s Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Runner Products. “The TCS New York City Marathon is the best day in sports in New York and will provide runners a major platform to spotlight this cause that means so much to them.”
More than 50,000 runners are expected at this year’s TCS New York City Marathon, which has become known as the best day in sports in New York, attracting runners and spectators of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities from around the world.
Last year, the TCS New York City Marathon Official Charity Partner Program raised a record $61.3 million for charity by way of 14,000 runners, and LINC was thrilled to contribute to this enormous effort. Stay tuned and join us to cheer on Team LINC as they take it to the streets to spread their love of literacy this November.
