Guaranteed Entries

Thank you to all who participated in our Numbers-for-Nonprofits program in 2008. You raised an amazing $1.3 million. Below are the groups we will be supporting this year. Each is a non-profit that would appreciate your help. We have listed the Falmouth-based groups first, as these are our nearby friends that we particularly try to help. We are not able to accept any other new charity applicants for this year.

Each runner who commits to this program gets a free entry, exempt from the lottery, in exchange for agreeing to raise at least $750 for their chosen charity.
