The SkyTeam Cargo runners met today with representatives from Team for Kids in New York City where they presented the charity with a check for $42,500.
“We are the only global airline cargo alliance and there’s no better way to show our teamwork in action than by running a marathon together,” said Eurlings. “I’m proud of the SkyTeam Cargo running team, each of whom has invested time and a great deal of effort in our shared goal to raise as much as possible to enable hundreds of children to have healthier futures.”
Team for Kids brings together adult runners from around the world to raise funds for New York Road Runners youth programs. Funds raised provide free or low-cost school and community-based health and fitness programs for children who would otherwise have no access to regular physical activity. The charity’s programs serve nearly 100,000 children each year in more than 400 schools across New York City, the United States and South Africa. Funds raised by SkyTeam Cargo will support 400 children in the Young Runners’ program for an entire school year.
