The 128th Boston Marathon is April 15th, 2024, and we’re excited to be a proud partner of the Boston Marathon.
Thousands of runners will lace up their sneakers, fueled by passion and running for a purpose. These athletes will raves over $40 million for charities. We’d like to recognize our charity sponsors.
American Lung Association
The American Lung Association is saving lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. We were founded 120 years ago by a group of volunteers dedicated to ending the lung health threat at the time: tuberculosis. With TB largely controlled in the United States, we have extended that mission to other respiratory diseases. And thanks to our donors, volunteers, program and event participants, and staff, we are America’s trusted source for lung health education, lung disease research, support, programs, services and advocacy.

Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism
The Flutie Foundation community – led by our staff, with feedback from constituents including self-advocates, board members, families served, donors, and volunteers ~ have identified nine values that guide our work, actions, and behaviors.
