NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon 2026

I am running for The 52nd Street Project in Hells Kitchen NYC! The 52nd Street Project is a non-profit arts education and mentoring organization dedicated to the young people (ages 9 – 18) who live in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of New York City. By collaborating with professional theater artists who volunteer their time and talent, the Project is able to offer year-round programming that is free for the participants. The 52nd Street Project is a clear example of how kindness, the arts, community, and education creates a safe, creative, and special place for young people to express themselves and receive accessible education. I have been involved with the project for over a year now, and it is one of my favorite places not only in New York City, but in the whole world. I am raising money to make sure that places like the 52nd Street Project stay accessible to the community and funded so that it can operate at its highest potential. Keeping the arts and creative education present is a mission I share with The Project, and I am honored to run for their team and fundraise for them!
