Running for a Cause: Support the Corey C. Griffin Foundation
Donation protected
Hi everyone!
I’m Sylvia, and I’m beyond excited to be running the 129th Boston Marathon as part of the Corey C. Griffin Marathon Team. Running has become such a meaningful part of my life, and I’m so proud to use it as a way to give back to my community.
Giving back is something my parents taught me to value from a young age, and fundraising for the Corey C. Griffin Foundation (CCGF) feels like the perfect way to honor that lesson. The foundation is all about supporting Boston-area youth by providing them with access to education, healthcare, and opportunities that can truly change their lives.
This past November, I volunteered at CoreyFest and got to witness firsthand the incredible impact CCGF has. I’ll never forget watching 10 local students receive $10,000 scholarships for their hard work and determination. That moment was so inspiring, and it made me even more passionate about being part of this mission.
I’m running not just to challenge myself, but to bring awareness to the amazing work CCGF does and to raise funds that will make a real difference in kids’ lives. Every donation, no matter the size, is a step toward giving these kids the opportunities they deserve.
Thank you so much for supporting me on this journey and for helping make a positive impact on our community. Let’s do this together—let’s go Team CCGF!
