"I'm running the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon for the BRC this year to raise both money and awareness for New Yorkers in need. Three years after the COVID-19 pandemic began, so many people in this city are still in need of a hand up to get back on their feet. The BRC does so much great work to that end and I'm excited to use this platform to support the BRC mission." support with my feet. BRC is a key partner for the City and State of New York in trying to end street homelessness, and I want to do my part in supporting that goal."

I am excited to raise awareness of BRC's endeavors through this platform. Thank you in advance for your support"
Eunhae
I am a mother to one son. Art and design are my passions.
As a designer I work to help people, but a lot of the time it isn't enough or not for the people who truly need it. Becoming familiar with BRC and the work they do was inspiring and I am grateful to be given a chance to contribute. I am excited to run this half marathon to help people in need.

As a New York native, I am excited to use this platform to support BRC’s mission."
