One month ago today, 8 runners finished the 2019 TCS New York City Marathon, representing Gladney with each step. In addition to that once-in-a-lifetime experience and physical feat, they raised more than $42,000 in donations to support Gladney’s mission and serve others. We are so proud of and grateful for #TeamGladney!

This was Gladney’s 5th year in a row to participate as a Charity Partner for the race. We have been honored by the opportunity and amazed by our teams each year—the five teams have raised a combined total of more than $148,000 to support Gladney! The runners shared their adoption stories, and their friends and families rallied around them, helping them reach their physical training and fundraising goals (and beyond!).
