Eight Complete NYC Marathon for CitySquash

CitySquash is proud to be a community charity partner of the 2013 ING NYC Marathon, and this past Sunday eight runners finished the race on behalf of our organization. For all of the runners, it has been a multi-month commitment, training to run 26.2 miles and simultaneously fundraising for CitySquash. In total, the group raised over $24,000. Thank you to our fundraisers and over 275 donors!

 

On race day, CitySquash staff and students traveled to mile 21 to support (and high-five) our runners in their CitySquash orange as they came by. Seventh graders Alexander Lorenzo and Brandon McKenzie even got a chance to cheer on their respective mentors, Brian Cady and Ben Newton. CitySquash would also like to give special shout-outs to our fastest runner, Nick Synan, who completed the course in 2:56, and to our top fundraiser, Steve Carey, who raised over $6,000!

 

Congratulations to all of our runners: Brian Cady, Steve Carey, Ben Newton, Dylan Patterson, Valentin Quan Miranda, Tertius Raubenheimer, Corey Rosen, Nick Synan, and thank you for your hard work on behalf of CitySquash!
