Firstgiving Runners Help Raise $1.9 Million for Charities in the 2009 Boston Marathon

“In 2008, runners using Firstgiving raised more than half of the money raised by all Boston Marathon charity runners,” said David Karp, Director of Marketing at Firstgiving.com. “The power each person brings to the fundraising process still continues to amaze me. Even in difficult economic times, the stories of these fundraiser athletes inspire impressive donations, and past years have shown us that money keeps coming in long after the race is done."
