Charity Teams
Make-A-Wish Metro New York
Make-A-Wish Metro New York is proud to be a charity partner of the 2024 Hamptons Marathon. Since 2018, dedicated members of Team Make-A-Wish have been adding more meaning to their miles by being a part of a powerful community running to make wishes come true.
No matter the circumstances, every child deserves a childhood. Life-changing wishes wouldn’t happen without the power of donors like you. Your support gives children much-needed hope for brighter days ahead. When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness.
We have been granting wishes to kids with critical illness since 1980– that’s over 40 years of keeping our promises to kids and families. To date, Make-A-Wish Metro and Western New York have granted over 17,000 wishes to children in the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island, and 17 counties in the Buffalo and Rochester areas!

Girls on the Run Miami
Girls on the Run Miami is a proud charity partner of the 2024 Hamptons Marathon & Half. Launched in 2024 by Hamptons Marathon Founders Diane Weinberger and Amanda Moszkowski, GOTR is a non-profit afterschool program focusing on girl empowerment.
We specifically target 3rd through 5th-grade girls with programming that combines running with critical life skills before girls’ overall physical activity and confidence levels decline. We inspire girls to be healthy and confident over a 10-week program that culminates in a celebratory 5K. As marathoners we know how crossing the finish line changes you—that pride, that feeling of invincibility lasts forever. At GOTR Miami, we are preparing girls to face whatever challenges they encounter knowing how to summon their inner strength.
