The Boilermaker Charity Bib Program is returning for 2017.

The program is open to organizations whose missions align with the Boilermaker's goal of promoting health and wellness.

Not-for-profit agencies in central New York interested in participating must apply first by contacting charity@boilermaker.com.  The application deadline is February 17th and selected partners will be announced on February 24th.

“The Boilermaker Charity Bib Program is a chance for local not-for-profits to both raise funds and awareness,” said Tim Reed, president of the Boilermaker. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to run not only for your own health but to help others.”

Since the program's inception in 2013, $500,000 has been raised to benefit area non-profits.
