(Based on the overwhelming response from our supporters to raise funds and awareness to improve the quality of life for patients with brain tumors, we have adjusted our goal to $200,000.) ____________________________________________________________
For the first time ever, the Tug McGraw Foundation will partner with the New York Road Runners for the landmark event that is the ING New York City Marathon 2007!
Through the NYRR’s Charity Partner Initiative, TMF was selected to enter our own team of runners – Team McGraw. Each of our runners has chosen not only to train extensively in preparation to run the marathon, but also elected to raise funds and awareness in support of our fight to improve the quality of life for patients with brain tumors.
We thank each of our members of Team McGraw in advance for their hard work and training as a part of this team, and we offer all of our appreciation to those of you that have chosen to make a donation and support our runners and the Tug McGraw Foundation.
To find your favorite runner, see above for “View Fundraising Pages” and select your fundraiser. ____________________________________________________________ **(Click here to get your tickets now and join the Tug McGraw Foundation for our Victory Party celebrating Team McGraw's run at the Central Park Boathouse after the race!)____________________________________________________________
