John Hancock non-profit runners raise money and raise hope; every step a commitment to the people they help and the promise they made. This year, more than 1,000 runners will help people from around our area live better lives by raising millions of dollars for local organizations. Their relentless determination and generosity lifts us, and reveals just how much power a promise can hold.

We are looking forward to making the 2012 John Hancock Non-Profit Marathon Program incredibly successful and meaningful for everyone involved. Our 2012 goal is to raise a record $6 million for our non-profit partners. Raising $6 million is no small task and to help make it happen, we've partnered with Crowdrise, an impact fundraising platform launched by actor and philanthropist Edward Norton. Our non-profit partners and their runners are creating compelling personal fundraising pages to raise more money than ever before. Click here to check out our 2012 John Hancock Marathon fundraising page on Crowdrise.

We have also highlighted our current 2012 Boston Marathon John Hancock Non-Profit partners here, along with their mission statements. We have included a link to each non-profit's Crowdrise page if you would like to support their team. The organizations are broadly categorized by their cause under Civic, disABILITY, Health & Wellness, Homelessness and Youth & Education. If you are an individual interested in running the 2012 Marathon, please contact one of these organization directly.
