Team ING Run for Something Better

ING developed the Run for Something Better program to introduce kids to the benefits of running, a habit of physical fitness, and healthy lifestyle choices. In the U.S., childhood obesity is one of the most significant health concerns facing us today.

Educating kids about the importance of living an active life is the cornerstone of the ING Run for Something Better program.

Team ING Run for Something Better supports team members as they improve their fitness and train for a half-marathon or marathon. Members of the team give back by fundraising to help ING provide youth running and school-based fitness education programs for kids locally.

The team is raising money to support healthy lifestyle programs for kids from the School District of Philadelphia as they train to participate in the ING Philadelphia Children's Run.

Donors who contribute $10 or more receive a bright pair of orange shoe laces as a token of ING’s appreciation—laces that are a symbol of a donor’s support for youth running and fitness.

Tug McGraw Foundation

Members of Team McGraw from across the country are training to complete the ING Philadelphia Distance Run while raising awareness and funds in support of the Tug McGraw Foundation.

The Tug McGraw Foundation was established to raise funds for pioneering brain tumor research, increase public awareness of the disease, and support college students who exemplify leadership and Tug’s inspiring “Ya Gotta Believe” spirit.

Over 300,000 adults and children annually receive a diagnosis of brain cancer, and the mission of the Foundation is to support research that will improve their quality of life in the physical, social, spiritual, and cognitive areas.
