TEAM KITA CENTER-BOSTON 2024

Official Charity Partner for the 128th Boston Marathon

​

Interested in running the Boston Marathon®? The Kita Center is pleased to be a member of the 2024 Bank of America Boston Marathon Official Charity Program. 

​

We are a small team with a big heart and a passion for suicide prevention. Last year, #teamkita collectively raised over $45,000 in support of our programs, and made a HUGE impact on our ability to keep our signature camp program 100% free to all our campers affected by suicide loss. 

 

The minimum fundraising commitment is set at $8,500 per entry.

 

Applications for the 2024 Boston Marathon are open now.
