Who produces the AthHalf Half Marathon?
Who produces the AthHalf Half Marathon?
AthFest Educates is a nonprofit organization that awards grants to schools, local nonprofits, and local government agencies that operate music and arts education programs for young people in grades K – 12. AthFest Educates produces the AthHalf Half Marathon and the AthFest Music & Arts Festival as fundraisers, and every dollar from these events go directly to AthFest Educates so it can continue to sustain and build the high-quality music and arts programs in our community. So, when you run, remember that a young person in our community is getting to play an instrument, dance, create a sculpture, or write a poem because of your help! Thank you.
