Join TEAM BKS where we are MAKING EVERY STEP COUNT!
BKS is proud to announce our 10th year as an Official Charity Partner for New York Road Runners’ TCS New York City Marathon! This year, the race takes place on Sunday, November 2nd. The marathon covers all five (5) boroughs, starting in Staten Island and ending in Manhattan’s Central Park.
Runners from around the world seek to gain entry to participate in this awesome race. We have five (5) of those entries and are looking for team members to help raise funds to support BKS’ programs. These programs include our enrichment activities of tennis, violin and yoga (mindfulness) which help to give a more equitable first step for some of Brooklyn’s youngest learners.
