The McCourt Foundation was founded with the mission to help patients and families living with neurological diseases through research, education and financial assistance. Over the past few years, the foundation has broadened its reach by partnering with additional health-related organizations.  

Our new initiative allows us to use our athletic event platforms to create partnership programs that empower passionate individuals to give back, regardless of the worthy health-and wellness-related causes they support.  

We are happy to collaborate and provide new ways to help these individuals raise awareness and increase financial support. 

We are committed to improving the community by offering nonprofits the opportunity to use the Los Angeles Marathon and LA Big 5K to increase awareness and raise funds for their causes.  Seventy nonprofits were selected as Official Charity Partners in 2020 and raised $4M for their organizations and the Los Angeles community.  Our partners include small, local nonprofits like My Friends Place and North Valley Caring Services where funds raised through the marathon have enabled them to continue operating, as well as national organizations like Children’s Hospital, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and World Vision where funds raised have a national and global impact.   

Together with our partners, we are supporting our mission of building a healthier world.  More than $58Million has been raised since the start of the program!
