Since our founding in 1895, Goodwill has been dedicated to the social justice mission of serving individuals, families, and communities with the greatest needs by helping people go to work to be able to support themselves and their families. Goodwill annually serves 9,000 low-income, unemployed and underemployed adults in its job training and career services programs, and almost 1,400 young people in its youth services programs. Proceeds from Running for Great Kids will benefit the nearly 600 children with great potential but limited opportunities who participate in Goodwill's Academy for Girls, youth mentoring program and summer opportunities. The dedication of Goodwill's Marathon Program to its youth programs enables the children to partner with runners and witness first hand athletic training, personal fitness, attainment of far-reaching goals, and victory in the face of great personal challenge.
