Run Your City

I started Run Your City with the belief that no kid should be sidelined from an experience that shaped so many of us.

Today we pair college athletes with kids who've been left out of sports, especially young girls, kids with disabilities and kids from low-income backgrounds. Running gets everyone moving, but the real point is belonging: every kid gets a team, a mentor and a finish line, completely free.

10,000 kids, 2,000 volunteers, 4 countries

Dozens of kids sprinting off the start line on a track, volunteers in pinnies cheering behind them

Paints by Blanks

I started painting after a running injury in college and seriously caught the bug.

50+ originals have found homes since then, every dollar goes to Run Your City.
