Do you have your own qualified entry in the Boston Marathon but still wish to raise funds for a cause that is special to you? Consider the Run for MGH program!
Every year, dozens of runners participate in the Boston Marathon as part of the Run for MGH program. Run for MGH aims to raise funds for Massachusetts General Hospital programs that are near and dear to these runners’ hearts.
As part of Run for MGH, runners will receive fundraising support, a team singlet, an invitation to a 20-mile long team run and more as they prepare for Marathon Monday, April 15, 2024.
If you are interested in participating in the #Run4MGH Program, please contact us at mghmarathon@mgh.harvard.edu.

Many companies match charitable gifts made by their employees, retirees and directors. Please consult with your company’s human resources department to learn if your workplace matches gifts to hospitals and how you can request a matching gift. Your company will contact Mass General directly to confirm your gift. For more information about matching gifts, please contact us.
It might be worth checking with your friend first to determine if their company allows them to check the status of a matching gift request. Also, most companies require the charity to verify the gift before they will process the matching contribution. Please reach out to mghmarathon@mgh.harvard.edu if you would like them to check the status of a matching gift or confirm the gift has been verified.
Every company is different as well, so payment don’t necessarily come from the company once a gift is verified, the disbursements vary – some companies disbursing funds quarterly, some even once a year. It may be helpful to check with your friend to see if they know the frequency with which their company sends matching contributions.
