“THE GREATEST RACE ON THE PLANET” (quote from a 2021 participant)
Marathon Sunday is November 5, 2023 and BKS is excited to be participating again as an Official Charity Partner!
We’re looking for individuals to join our team who believe in our mission. We need you to join us by helping to raise funds so that, together, we can continue to provide high quality early childhood education in Central Brooklyn.

- Spreading the word to your personal network to raise a minimum of $3,000. (Runners who are not able to raise this full amount will be expected to make an individual donation to the organization to meet the $3,000 minimum.)
BKS is offering you:
- Guaranteed entry into the 2023 TCS NYC Marathon, held on Sunday, November 5, 2023
