Cradles to Crayons is excited to announce that for the 14th consecutive year, we will be fielding a team of runners in the Boston Marathon! As an official charity of the 2025 Bank of America Boston Marathon Official Charity Program, members of Team Cradles to Crayons set a personal goal of raising at least $15,000—a key to our team’s success, and our ability to help thousands of vulnerable children across Massachusetts.​

Last year, 13 runners laced up their sneakers and ran 26.2 miles for Cradles to Crayons. As a team, they raised over $130,000 to ensure that children in our community receive the essential items they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued. We hope to surpass that mark this year!
