Add meaning to your miles.

The Mark Schonwetter Holocaust Education Foundation (MSHEF) is proud to be an official charity partner of the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon and the 2026 Philadelphia Marathon Weekend.
When you join Team MSHEF, every mile you complete helps ensure that students across the country learn the lessons of the Holocaust — lessons of empathy, moral courage, and standing up against antisemitism and hatred.
Every dollar raised supports Holocaust education programs, survivor storytelling, and classroom grants that bring these critical lessons to students nationwide. At a time when Holocaust education is more urgent than ever, your participation helps ensure these stories are never forgotten.
Your race becomes more than a finish line. It becomes a statement.

We are so honored by those who want to run in support of the MSHE Foundation, and we encourage you to stay connected with us and explore other meaningful ways to get involved year-round.
Our annual Journey For The Living fitness challenge happens in May— supporters can walk, run, or bike the distance Mark journeyed to freedom during the Holocaust. It is a great opportunity to support Holocaust education and make a lasting impact.
In addition, consider joining our MSHEF Ambassador program and helping us spread awareness about our mission in your community.
