Projects

Charm City Run has donated over $2 Million since its founding in 2002, and Charm City Run Events has helped local non-profits raise over $500,000 annually through supported events. This legacy of giving continues through the Live. Give. Run. Foundation, and we thank all of our local runners and walkers for giving us the opportunity to make these gifts.

Here are a few ways we’ve given back over the years.

Amy Schuerholz Metz and Charm City Run Scholarship presented by Saucony

Each year, Charm City Run and the Live. Give. Run. Foundation recognize and reward two student athletes (one male and one female) who exemplify the Charm City Run mission statement: “To Inspire and Move the Human Spirit, One Sole at a Time”.

Submissions are collected and evaluated by a panel of Charm City Run leaders and include an assessment of a student's overall high school experience. After all applications have been reviewed, the top applicants are selected for an interview. One female athlete and one male athlete will be awarded the Charm City Run Scholarship. The scholarship consists of a one-time $3,000 award and a complimentary pair of Saucony running shoes.

Live Give Run Virtual Race Challenge

In April of 2020, the Live. Give. Run. Foundation and Charm City Run Events created a virtual race to support two local organizations on the front lines of the COVID-19 outbreak in Maryland; the Maryland Food Bank, and the University of Maryland Medical System. 100% of the $28,000 race proceeds were split between the Maryland Food Bank and UMMS' COVID-19 Response Fund.

Supporting Community Partners

Since 2002, Charm City Run has donated over $1 Million to local nonprofits that do critical work in the communities we live in. Through the patronage of runners and walkers that pass through our doors and shop online with us, we are able to support these groups any many more who make our world a better place.
