Run for Team Solace House!
As a Charity Partner in the NYC United Airlines Half Marathon, Solace House relies on this race as one of it's main fundraising sources.
In the past year, we've had an increase in new clients, our current clients re-enter trauma and require additional support, and our staff have been forced to adapt to this pandemic, while also being a source of strength for so many. But, the biggest challenge we have faced has been funding. We are so grateful to NYRR to be selected as a Charity Partner for the 2023 United Airlines Half Marathon, which allows us the opportunity to have runners represent our organization and raise the much needed funds for free mental health care!
Fundraising: Each runner will have their own fundraising page to raise money for Solace House throughout their Half Marathon journey. They can personalize their photos & stories to share why they are running. It could be to honor someone's memory or simply to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. Fundraising can begin as soon as a team is assembled in January.
To inquire about running with the Solace House team, please reach out to Danielle (Danielle.gallagher@solacehouseusa.org) for more information. We are excited to have runners on our team who are passionate about spreading awareness for suicide prevention and mental health!
