On November 1st, a dedicated team of RETI Center supporters will be running in the TCS New York City Marathon to raise funds that power RETI Center's work at the intersection of climate action, environmental education, and community resilience.

Each runner on our team commits to raising a minimum of $3,000 by race day, and RETI Center will dedicate a past New York Marathon runner to support you in fundraising and training, as well as a WhatsApp group with the rest of the team.

Funds raised by our marathon team will support:

Green Career Training
No-cost Local Power workforce training that prepares New Yorkers from environmental justice communities for careers in solar, EV battery and storage, and building electrification — connecting graduates to family-sustaining jobs.
Solar That Benefits the Community
Installation and demonstration of solar and clean energy systems that reduce emissions, lower costs, and increase neighborhood
Hands-On Environmental Learning
Projects that restore biodiversity, improve water quality, and strengthen local climate resilience through living shorelines and green infrastructure.
Youth Who Grow Into Leaders
School-year and summer programs that introduce young people to clean energy, waterfront restoration, and civic leadership — with a clear pathway into green careers.
