The American Legacy Foundation and ING New York City Marathon
November 2, 2008

Who We Are

The American Legacy Foundation, a public health organization established in 1999, is dedicated to building a world where young people reject tobacco, and anyone can quit. We are delighted you are joining our circle of friends to support Legacy's life-saving programs.

With 1,200 Americans dying every day from tobacco-related diseases, smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in our country.

With your help, Legacy will continue to protect our youth from ever starting to smoke, provide valuable tools and resources to anyone who wants to quit and help everyone avoid the consequences of second-hand smoke. In doing so, we will fulfill our ultimate mission: to save lives.

ING New York City Marathon

Legacy is proud to be among the New York Road Runners' Charity Partners for the ING New York City Marathon 2008 Charity Program.  Legacy has been a three-time sponsor of the Circle of Friends NY Mini 10K, a Marathon qualifying race.

This program provides runners not granted entry to the marathon by either qualifications or the lottery guaranteed marathon entries in return for charitable donations of $2,500 or more.  We have a limited number of guaranteed entries, so if you are a runner, we encourage you to sign up now.  Your contribution will aid us in our life-saving work.

It's not just a marathon.  It's a race to fight the #1 cause of preventable death in America.

Your contribution in support of Team Legacy is a donation to a public charity and is tax deductible to the extent provided for by law. We will send you confirmation of your donation for tax purposes for any donation made by credit card and for donations made by check equal to or exceeding $250 (per IRS regulations, donations less than $250 do not require documentation). Contributions made by check should clearly identify the runner you are supporting and should be made payable to the American Legacy Foundation.  Unfortunately, we cannot accept international donations or process international credit cards at this time.  Payment must be made in US dollars.
