Austin International Half Marathon: Supporting Nonprofits Through Community Donations
At the Austin International Half Marathon, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. Our event is more than just a race; it’s an opportunity to support a variety of nonprofits and make a positive impact in the lives of those around us. Through donations to volunteer groups, we strive to foster a spirit of generosity and community engagement that extends far beyond the racecourse.
Supporting Nonprofits Through Volunteer Donations
Each year, the Austin International Half Marathon partners with numerous volunteer groups that play a crucial role in the success of our event. In recognition of their invaluable contributions, we make donations to these groups, helping to support their missions and initiatives. Our commitment to giving back is a cornerstone of our event, ensuring that the positive impact of race day is felt throughout the community.
Past Partnerships with 3M Gives
Our dedication to philanthropy is exemplified by our past partnerships with 3M Gives, a program by 3M dedicated to supporting communities through charitable giving. Together, we have made significant contributions to several notable charities, including:
- Girl Start: An organization dedicated to empowering girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) through innovative, nationally recognized informal STEM education programs. Our support has helped Girl Start inspire young girls to pursue their passions in STEM fields.
- Texas Food Bank: As a critical resource for food-insecure families, the Texas Food Bank works tirelessly to provide meals to those in need. Our donations have helped ensure that families across Texas have access to nutritious food, especially during times of crisis.
- Finding Home ATX: This organization is dedicated to providing stable housing solutions for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Our contributions have supported their mission to create lasting change and help people find a place to call home.
