Donate

NYRR Youth & Community Services currently serves almost 100,000 children each week by providing low-income schools and community centers with free, dynamic, and easy-to-implement programs which combat childhood obesity and empower youth development. Your support will play a vital role in equipping us to reach the hundreds of thousands of children locally, nationally, and internationally who desperately need regular access to physical activity in order to lead healthy and productive lives, both now and in the future.

Please consider investing in today’s youth by making a general donation, participating in our Adopt-a-School program, or supporting Team for Kids.

Holiday Sneaker Drive

Give the gift of running to a child this year through NYRR's annual Holiday Sneaker Drive. Contact youthprograms@nyrr.org to find out how you can make a donation of new sneakers. No time to shop? Make a monetary donation on our website and we'll purchase the sneakers on your behalf. Make sure to write "Holiday Sneaker Drive" in the "How did you hear about NYRR?" section.

Adopt-a-School

Businesses, corporations, and non-profit groups can have a huge impact on their community’s health and future by funding a NYRR Youth Program. Adopt a school or before- or after-school program and make a difference for hundreds of kids in a community. [More]

Support Team for Kids

If you’re an adult runner, you can join Team for Kids and raise funds for NYRR Youth Programs as you train for races. Or, you can donate to a Team for Kids runner. Groups, such as businesses or corporations, can also form their own Team for Kids. [More]
