Started in 1897, the Boston Marathon, organized by the Boston Athletic Association, is the oldest annual marathon in the world. The Boston Athletic Association, through the popularity of the Boston Marathon, has created the Boston Marathon Official Charity Program. The Boston Marathon Official Charity Program is designed to support other charities such as the American Red Cross, the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism, and Goodwill.
The Boston Marathon program provides these charities with invitational entries to the Marathon, so the charities can send a representative to run in the race. Charity representatives can receive pledges from groups and individuals, which helps them raise funds for their charity.
