Saucony Run For Good Foundation Invites Applications for Youth Running Programs

The Saucony Run For Good Foundation works to improve the lives of children by helping to prevent and reduce childhood obesity. According to the foundation, today’s American youth are considered the most inactive in history and the rate of obesity among U.S. children and teenagers has more than tripled over the past three decades.

To that end, Saucony invites proposals aimed at reducing the childhood obesity epidemic and will award grants of up to $10,000 to community-based nonprofit organizations that initiate and support running programs for children. Program participants must be 18 years of age or younger, and the foundation will prioritize programs that serve populations not traditionally exposed to running programs.

Applicants must be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Saucony Run For Good Foundation website.

Deadline: December 15, 2021
