Team TMF is the official fundraising program for The McCourt Foundation, inviting everyone to run or ride with purpose at any The McCourt Foundation event. By becoming a part of Team TMF, participants  have the opportunity to raise funds and awareness for the foundation’s programs and research initiatives and also challenge themselves to do something huge like cross the finish line of a 5k, 10k, half marathon, or even a marathon!

Team TMF fundraising supports the The McCourt Foundation mission: to cure neurological diseases while empowering communities to build a healthier world.  Since 1992, we’ve donated over $6.3 million to neurology research and raised more than $68 million for our 105+ nonprofit charity partners. We make an impact and fulfill our mission by focusing on three pillars:

1. Research: We support and contribute funds to neurological research.
2. Education: We host free educational forums, at our Neurological Symposium. for individuals affected by neurological diseases such as ALS, MS, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s.
3. Partnerships: We forge strategic partnerships and utilize our mass participation events as platforms to drive broader health and wellness impact. Our athletic events include the Los Angeles Marathon, Rose Bowl Half Marathon & 5K, Santa Monica Classic, LA Big 5K, Boston Waterfront 5K, and Tour de South Shore.

Within our mission, we also champion youth health and wellness programs for school-age kids in the Greater Los Angeles region. These programs, including Students Run LA and 26th Mile, are part of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s Beyond the Bell Youth Development program.
