We’re proud to announce that Groundswell has been chosen as a charity partner for the 2009 ING New York City Marathon.

When you run for Groundswell, you’ll be supporting after-school, in-school, and summer public art-making programs for hundreds of underserved New York City youth. Thousands of New Yorkers are inspired everyday by our over 100 and counting murals, mosaics, and sculptures. Let them inspire you, too, while running along the route!
