OUR 2026 BENEFICIARY IS…

Each year, Front Runners New York shares the proceeds from the race, raised from sponsors and donors, with a club-nominated charity.  Over the past eight years, Front Runners New York has awarded more than $250,000 to a variety of LGBT-related, New York-based organizations as the beneficiary of our annual Pride Run.

Organizations are submitted for consideration and voted on by our membership. Through a vote of the Membership, Housing Works was selected as the 2026 recipient.

Born out of the AIDS crisis in New York City, Housing Works is a healing community that fights for inclusive care, social justice, and an end to homelessness. Housing Works’ integrated healthcare, life-changing services, relentless advocacy, and social enterprises break barriers and involve the whole community in building a more compassionate and equitable world.

Join us in the 44th running of our LBGTQ+ Pride Run and continue the tradition of stewardship, particularly towards the next generation of LGBTQ+ individuals most disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
