Marian Hosts 4th Annual “Run As One” 5k Run/Walk for Charity
What began as a chance to get outdoors and virtually gather during the COVID-19 pandemic has now become an annual tradition here at Marian. On October 7, 2023, Marian held its 4th Virtual Run as One 5K to benefit local organizations all over the country. Participating in this event was not only Marian Indianapolis, but Marian Chicago, Marian Milwaukee, Marian Fort Worth, Marian Mexico, Marian Monticello, Marian Bay Area, and many other employees and their families virtually across the country. Each Marian location was asked to choose an organization for their runners to raise money for, and Marian Corporate generously offered to match all donations up to $10,000 for each location’s charity.
When race day 2023 arrived, Marian absolutely showed up. This year, we hosted a record 350 in-person and virtual participants spanning across almost 10 states. As a team, we raised a total of more than $74,000 to organizations nationwide. These organizations include:
- Second Helpings in Indianapolis
- Northern Illinois Foodbank in Chicago
- Hunger Task Force in Milwaukee
- Tarrant Area Food Bank in Fort Worth
- Casa Bienvivir and Child Crisis Center in El Paso
Check out the video below of our President William Witchger announcing our donations and sending the runners off to race.
Thanks for Your Support!
We thank our employees, family, and friends so much to everyone for their generosity and help in making this event such a success. Philanthropy is an important part of Marian’s mantra and we love to give back to our communities in every way we can. Big congratulations to everyone for that completed their goal of finishing a 5K!
