Our Funding in New York City
Updated: February 17, 2012
The launch of Back on My Feet New York City brings new services, programs and support to people experiencing homelessness. This also means a new way for runners and walkers to give back to the community when they volunteer with a Back on My Feet team. It will take approximately $650,000 – 700,000 to launch and operate Back on My Feet New York City in 2012. Your support, no matter the amount, will help us reach our fundraising goal and bring our life-changing mission to the Big Apple.

Individuals
Back on My Feet is much more than a running club. We are an intensely diverse family that is built on the foundation of unity, strength, teamwork, leadership, support, trust, love and hope. We come together to run at least three days a week to move our own lives forward and those of our teammates. In addition to accomplishing mileage goals, our members are furthering their education, getting jobs, quitting smoking, eating better, feeling better, smiling more and hugging tighter. It's truly a beautiful thing to be a part of and we need your support to keep growing.
