On November 1st, my friend Sara will be running the New York City Marathon with her friends at Spring Mountain Capital, LP to raise a total of $26,285. Running 26.2 miles may seem like pure torture, but on top of fulfilling this dream, she will be running for The Robin Hood Foundation, one of New York’s leading organizations helping those in poverty.

Statistics that Robin Hood is trying to improve:

* 55% of all babies born in the City – our neighbors – are born into poverty.
* 40% of NYC public school students don’t graduate on time.
* Tonight, 35,000 New Yorkers will sleep in shelters; 15,000 of them are children.

With your help, Sara hope to reach her personal goal of raising $5,000 for the Foundation, which gives 100% of every donation directly to programs helping those who are less fortunate. As you may know, Robin Hood targets poverty in NYC by finding, funding and partnering with 200 of the city’s most effective anti-poverty programs and schools. Robin Hood’s board of directors underwrites all fundraising and administrative costs- which means every penny of every donation goes directly to the best poverty-fighting programs in the city.

Any amount donated would be much appreciated. When we are all on board to support such a notable charity, every dollar counts and everyone benefits.
