$59,655 donated to Fox Cities area nonprofit groups  
Twenty-eight organizations benefited from 2018 race proceeds
The Community First Fox Cities Marathon was started nearly 30 years ago to build health, wellness and community ... one step at a time. Part of living our mission includes donating race proceeds to local non-profits.

We are pleased to share we have donated $59,655 from the 2018 race to a total of 28 northeast Wisconsin nonprofit groups including 11 area cross-country teams this month. 

“We’re honored to support area nonprofit organizations who make a difference in our community," said Tara Perre, spokesperson for the marathon. "Participants of our races love the Community First Fox Cities Marathon because they know its impact goes beyond race week. They know they helped make an impact throughout the year to build strong communities.” 

Since 1999, the marathon has provided donations to local charitable causes and nonprofit organizations.
