John Hancock Announces 2018 Boston Marathon Non-Profit Program Fundraising Partners
BOSTON, Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- John Hancock, the principal sponsor of the Boston Marathon for more than 30 years, today named the organizations in its Non-Profit Program that will receive guaranteed race entries for the 2018 Boston Marathon. The organizations use these entries to recruit runners who will raise money on their behalf in advance of the 122nd Marathon on April 16, 2018.
This year 131 organizations were allocated entries. A complete list is attached below.
"We take great pride in the significant community support we generate through our sponsorship of the Boston Marathon, and we're pleased to partner with some of the most impactful community agencies and organizations in greater Boston," said Tom Crohan, AVP & Counsel, John Hancock. "Our Non-Profit Program offers organizations a unique platform to raise money and awareness for their causes, and we look forward to another successful year."
In 2017, runners with bibs obtained through John Hancock raised $12.3 million for their causes, with an average of $11,646 raised per bib in the Non-Profit Program.
Up to and including the 2017 race, the official Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) Charity Program and John Hancock's Non-Profit Program have combined to raise more than $297 million for community-based organizations.
As part of John Hancock's program, the company provides its non-profit partners with onsite informational sessions, runner recruitment best practices, fundraising support, and runner safety tips. John Hancock also is continuing to utilize a centralized online fundraising platform on CrowdRise™, https://www.crowdrise.com/2018bostonmarathon, with reduced pricing for all of its partners.
In order to become a John Hancock Non-Profit Partner, organizations must demonstrate the capacity and infrastructure to support their runners in the fundraising and training efforts, and commit to raising a minimum of $5,000 for each invitational entry received through this exclusive program.
In 2018, employees of John Hancock and Manulife will raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of Boston, the Ron Burton Training Village, and Easter Seals Camp Programs.
