History
In 2017 Run for Club Kids founders Bill Sheehy and RJ Lewis had an idea to host a run to support BGC Mercer programs. Bill a former Board Member and longtime supporter of the Club, wanted to make an impact!
In 2017, 35 runners ran in the Trenton Half Marathon and were able to raise $180,000 to support Boys & Girls Club!

In October 2018, the Run for Club Kids runners participated in two other local races, the Princeton Half Marathon and the Meadows Miler (5k &10K).
More teams and runners were recruited and 75 runners raised $150,000 that year.
In 2019 participation again grew and 150 runners raised $160,000! Click Here To View Photos from 2019
In 2020 the Club's fundraising team was tasked with delivering a COVID-19 safe Run for Club Kids. The entire month of October was deemed Run for Club Kids month, over 300 participants from all over the country ran any day in October, any distance of their choosing, and raised a record $213,000.
Cummulatively, Run for Club Kids has raised over $1,000,000 across 6 years to benefit Club Kids. Join us this year and help us exceed our fundraising goal by brining in more donations than ever!
