We’re thrilled to share that we are returning as an official charity partner in the Pittsburgh Marathon’s Run for a Reason Program!
In 2024, we had our biggest marathon weekend yet—with 27 incredible team members who raised significant funds for Envision and successfully crossed the finish line. This year, we’re aiming even higher and need your help to make it happen.
Our goal for 2025 is to raise $30,000 to support our mission and empower our athletes to Fear Less and Do More. By taking part, you’ll make a meaningful impact, helping us continue to provide sports and physical activities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired while also advocating for them in their communities and classrooms.
