Heartfelt support
This year, the Marathon’s Run with Heart charity component supported 60 organizations, more than twice as many as last year, by dedicating participation in the event's challenges to their fundraising efforts. With the support of participants, these organizations have collectively raised over $400,000. To maximize the positive impact of the event and encourage organizations in their fundraising, the Beneva Grants program awarded $25,000 to the organizations with the most successful fundraising campaigns.
Beneva's commitment and values are also evident on race days: personalized messages of encouragement sent by supporters were displayed on a strategically placed giant screen along the course, specifically in the final kilometers before the finish line.
