Description

I am running the Boston Marathon April 15th, 2024 for the Victoria McGrath Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to continue the legacy of a remarkable young woman, Victoria McGrath. Victoria was seriously injured in the Boston Bombing, after which she decided to dedicate her life to supporting others in need. She recently passed away in a tragic car accident. The foundation aims to continue her life's work.

This year, all funds raised will provide scholarships for individuals with disabilities to go to Family Retreats and Outdoor Adventure programs at Waypoint Adventure. As an outdoorsy, health-focused individual, I can't emphasize enough the vital role that the great outdoors has played in my life. It is very meaningful for me to open this door for others, and I hope you'll join me in doing so.

I'm hosting a fundraiser event April 3, 2024 (exact venue pending) and expecting to have 150 attendees representing New England-based professionals in design, architecture, arts, finance, athletics and music industries. The event itself will include a live-auction raffling a wide range of attractive products from some of the best known brands, both corporate and local. Some of the awesome brands that have donated items for live-auction are: Equinox, Patagonia, MoMA, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Wegmans, Le Botaniste, Boisson, Great Jones Spa and the NYC Classic Harbor Cruise.

I'm hoping that your company might be interested in donating a gift to auction at the event, or even donating product to be tried or tasted at the event itself. I'm very open to any ideas that work for you. I would love to promote your organization, and I think this is the perfect group of attendees for good exposure.
