FPHNYC is thrilled to be an Official Charity Partner of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon for it’s third year in a row! On November 3rd, 2024, over 50,000 runners from across the world will race through all five boroughs!

We are looking to create a team of runners who are passionate about maternal health in New York City. The money you raise will help FPHNYC support the NYC Health Department’s Maternal Home Collaborative: a pilot initiative where Black birthing people in Brooklyn have access to care that will address and reduce risks before, during, and after pregnancy/birth. 

Did You Know?  Black women/birthing people in NYC are four times more likely to die from a pregnancy-associated death than their white counterparts, with 72% of these deaths being preventable.

We have 10 spots available, so act fast. If selected, you will receive guaranteed entry to the NYC Marathon, tools to assist in fundraising, exclusive perks, swag, and more! 

We will notify you if you’ve made the team by April 15th, 2024. Please be sure to include current and accurate contact information in your application
