Support The Sylvia Center's Cooking for Change Champions in the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon!

On November 1st, two dedicated runners are taking on 26.2 miles in support of The Sylvia Center and the more than 6,000 young people and families we serve each year through our hands-on culinary and nutrition education programs.

Every donation helps provide children and families across New York City and beyond with access to fresh food, practical cooking skills, and nutrition education that supports healthier futures. By supporting our marathon team, you are helping empower the next generation with confidence in the kitchen, lifelong healthy habits, and meaningful connections to food and community.

Cheer on our runners and make a gift today to help every mile make an impact!
