The San Francisco Marathon and Jumping Fences, Inc (race producer) are committed to providing needed resources and services to community organizations. Whether it is through our Cause to Run Fundraising Program, shoe donations, food donations, volunteer support, or even shirt donations – we want to make a difference!
Here are some of the ways we are involved in the local, regional and global community!
