43rd Marine Corps Marathon.
The Paddy Brown Program is an official charity partner of the 2018 Marine Corps Marathon. We are beyond excited about this opportunity to participate as a team in our first fundraising event. What better premier event than the MCM especially given that our NPO is named in honor of an iconic Marine and NYC firefighter who made the ultimate sacrifice on Sept 11th 2001. Our team will (hopefully) consist of 50 marathoners and 20 -10k runners. Runners will be responsible for the race fee and a $250 minimum fundraising goal. 100% of funds raised go straight back into the program for programs such as sponsoring military veterans to attend conferences and training events for first responders. Our ultimate goal is to assist transitioning veterans obtain jobs as first responders.
