You can also join our March 14th Facebook event, and invite your friends to the celebration, too.
As we do every March, we will have some very talented musicians performing.

DONATE TO SUPPORT OUR MARATHON RUNNERS
Support Team
Reading to Kids as they run the ASICS LA Marathon on
March 15th!
With every
mile they conquer and every dollar they raise, our team-members
are helping to inspire kids with a love of reading.
They have already raised more than $8,500 towards their overall goal of
$13,000. If you can donate a buck a mile
to your favorite runner, you'll help fuel them towards the finish line!
