As a Team BMC member, you’ll share BMC with your networks and raise critical funds to support its patients, caregivers, and programs. The fundraising minimum for accepted runners for 2026 is $10,000.

BMC is home to expert clinicians and cutting-edge treatments. We’re also creating programs that meet patients’ needs holistically. Funds raised through the Bank of America Boston Marathon Official Charity Program support this work—much of it not reimbursed by insurance—that drives better health outcomes for everyone. Here are just a few examples of what philanthropy makes possible at BMC:  

• Wealth = Health: Wealth is linked to health. That’s why BMC created an Economic Justice Hub to increase economic opportunity for patients and families through financial coaching, pathways to jobs, free tax preparation services, and more.   

• Food is Medicine: Our hospital-based food pantry, the first-of-its-kind in the nation, distributes more than 1 million pounds of nutritious food to patients and their families each year. BMC’s Teaching Kitchen uses fresh ingredients in our healthy cooking and nutrition classes for our community. Some of the fresh produce used by these programs is grown on our two Rooftop Farms.  

• Greatest Needs: Helping patients secure safe housing. Expanding critical mental health services. Increasing access to clinical trials and groundbreaking research. Your support enables our team of experts, innovators, and advocates to respond to patients’ emerging needs and make our city healthier.  

Thank you again to our 85 Team BMC athletes who went the extra mile for our patients and community. View photos below.
