127th Boston Marathon

Boston Marathon

The Boston Marathon connects eight Massachusetts cities and towns with the world in the spirit of competition, camaraderie and community. As the world’s oldest annual marathon, the Boston Marathon brings everyday athletes, many of whom are connected to extraordinary causes, to the same road as professional, world-class athletes. Together, inspired by the strength and courage of the individuals they run with --and run for-- these athletes embody the power of the human spirit. Help these athletes push forward on the road ahead by helping support one or more of the many great causes represented in the 2023 Boston Marathon.

This year marks the 127th running of the Boston Marathon.

MGH Emergency Response...Ready When Seconds Count

Massachusetts General Hospital

In 2014, the Mass General Marathon Team received additional entries to raise money for MGH’s Emergency Response Department in recognition of the lifesaving response of hospital employees following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. The MGH runners supporting Emergency Medicine have raised more than $3.3 million in eight years, providing critical funding to the hospital’s emergency medicine and disaster preparedness efforts that benefit victims worldwide.

Marathon funds support the training and resources needed to develop a carefully integrated response that spans multiple departments throughout the hospital and ensures that Mass General is ready for the next disaster – be it man-made or natural.

At Mass General, we take emergency planning very seriously. Preparing for that next disaster takes thoughtful training and lots of practice. Donors are critical to our success. Time spent training is not covered by insurance and often takes place outside work hours. Money raised by the Mass General Emergency Response Team allows Mass General to be Ready When Second’s Count.

GivenGain Teams enables sporting event participants to fundraise for charity around a specific event. A Teams account gives event organisers a detailed overview of all participant fundraising for and donations to their chosen charity or charities, in the form of graphs, leaderboards and more. This enables them to see the success of the fundraising around their event, showcase the best fundraisers, track the donor countries reached by fundraisers, and give real-time feedback to stakeholders including the broader public.

Any event organiser may apply for a Teams account and create a charity fundraising event associated with its official event. Once this is done, the event organiser can link a GivenGain charity (or charities) to its fundraising event, enabling the charity to receive donations via participants' fundraising projects.

Individual participant fundraisers select charities linked to the event, set up their own fundraising projects and invite their friends, colleagues and family to donate to it.

Donations raised during a fundraising event are automatically transferred at regular intervals to the bank accounts of the beneficiary charities that are linked to the event (transfer schedules).
