Did you know that since 2009 the Glass City Marathon has given over $300,00 to local charities? The 2016 charities are:
- Great Lakes Collaborative for Autism
- Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity
- Kids Unlimited
- Catholic Charities – Diocese of Toledo
- Family House
- Girls on the Run
- Goodwill Industries
- Racing for Recovery
- Mercy Children’s Hospital
- Hannah’s Socks
- Josina Lott Residential & Community Services
- Adopt America Network
- Partners for Clean Streams

You can choose to be a fundraiser for one of these charities, or just make a donation on your own. Just as running has changed your life, you can make a difference in someone else’s life by making a donation to one of the race charities!
Signing up to run for a charity is easy. Just click on the link of the charity you are interested in and you will be directed to the information specific to that organization. At that point you can choose to be a fund raiser, or make a donation another runner’s campaign. You can even create a team and join some friends on the fund raising effort!

Why is it that the older we get, the faster times flies?!?! Seemed after having my son, TIME really started to go by fast! Feel like I am always flying by the seat of my pants! 😀
