Team Believe raises $14,000 in 2023

On October 15th, 20 fearless Team Believe Runners crossed the finish line in the 2023 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon! They raised over $14,000 to support children around the world in overcoming barriers and accessing education.

Thank you, Team Believe runners, for all of your hard work, fantastic dedication, and for joining us on this inspiring journey. When we come together, we can bring about positive change in the lives of those who need it most.

Watch our highlight reel from the day’s events and get ready to join the fun with Team Believe in 2024! We can’t wait to see you there!

Still have questions? We're here to help.

In 2021, participants raised more than $3.08 million much-needed funds for 151 official charity partners. In fact, since the TCS Charity Challenge began in 2003, more than $48 million has been raised. The runners’ commitment to fundraising has made a significant impact in communities.

One hundred percent of all donations raised by Team Believe will benefit Children Believe, supporting children around the world break barriers to access education so they can be a voice for change.

Proceeds from this event will help break barriers to creating healthy, educated and empowered communities. You’ll be helping children access knowledge, training and opportunities to raise their voices and make positive change.

You’ll provide life essentials: clean water, healthy food and safe places to grow and play. And, you’ll support the greatest tool we have in our global movement for change.
