Already have a race in mind that isn’t listed above? Let us know! We do not have to be a charity partner for your event of choice for you to be a part of Team CurePSP. Reach out to events@curepsp.org and we can guide you through creating your customizable fundraising page for your next big race!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do I have to raise to be a part of Team CurePSP? Our fundraising minimums depend on the race. For the United Airlines NYC Half, the minimum is $2,500 while for the TCS New York City Marathon, the minimum is $4,000. When runners sign their agreement forms, they’re guaranteeing that they’ll raise at least this amount before the set deadline. If you want to run your own race outside of our offerings, there is no set fundraising minimum. However, you receive additional perks if you raise at least $500!
What if I don’t raise the minimum fundraising amount by the deadline? If this happens, you are responsible for covering the remaining amount to hit the fundraising minimum.
Do you cover travel and lodging expenses? No, we only provide the items listed under each race above. You are responsible for coordinating and paying for your own travel and lodging. We also do not provide room blocks.
How do I collect donations? Once you’re officially a part of Team CurePSP, you’ll receive instructions on how to create your customizable fundraising page using our fundraising platform, Classy. Your supporters will be able to donate on this page to help you reach your goal! As always, we also accept checks that are sent to our New York City office.
What if I can’t run the race anymore? The cancellation clauses differ based on the race and whether you’ve already reached your minimum fundraising amount. For most, you will be able to defer your spot to next year’s race as long as you’ve reached the minimum and have cancelled before the set deadline. Your runner agreement will go over this process in detail.
