Welcome to the
Live. Give. Run. Foundation

Who We Are

The Live. Give. Run. Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created in 2020 to officially support the Maryland and Delaware-based organizations and programs that Charm City Run has been supporting for over 22 years. The Foundation carries out the charitable and philanthropic goals of Charm City Run’s mission to inspire and move the human spirit one sole at a time.   

Over the last 22 years Charm City Run has donated over two million dollars to Maryland headquartered non-profit organizations.  In addition, Charm City Run Events partners with local non-profits to raise $500,000 annually for their respective missions.

The Live. Give. Run Foundation gives primarily to organizations that benefit the environment, encourage physical fitness and enhance educational opportunities for the less fortunate.

The Foundation also mobilizes Charm City Run assets to provide apparel and footwear donations, and to give access or create events for individuals and groups who would otherwise not have the opportunity to participate in running.

What We Believe

  • The choices we make everyday can impact our environment in a positive or negative way. We have an opportunity and obligation to enact positive change and create a sustainable environment for future generations.

  • Access, equity, and opportunity in education are fundamental to solving the problems we face in our communities everyday.

  • The human body can do amazing things, and physical activity helps us to be the best version of ourselves we can be.

Where We Give

The Live Give Run Foundation supports community organizations focusing on issues related to the environment, education, and physical fitness in our home state of Maryland.
