Charity Partnerships
Building a healthier world together
The McCourt Foundation Charity Program is an opportunity for other nonprofits to utilize our events in Los Angeles and Boston as a platform to create awareness about their mission and raise funds for their organization.
It is also much more than that. Athletic events like marathons, half marathons, 5K’s and bike rides are memorable, challenging and can be so much more impactful when doing it for charity. Our charity partners provide a purpose for people to cross the finish line -- for the first time or their 50th -- and make a direct impact on people’s lives.
Joining our Charity Program allows 501c(3) charities to be a part of a community of organizations who have come together to make a difference in a fun, healthy and supportive way. Working together, our partners make this program a success for not only their organizations, but also for the people participating in the events and standing on the side cheering them on.
Thank you to our 129 Charity Partners and 5,000+ participants who made the 2026 ASICS Los Angeles Marathon weekend so impactful—raising over $5.1 million and counting!
