New York City, NY —The
Mortgage Bankers Association Opens Doors Foundation was named an Official
Charity Partner of the 2016 TCS New York City Marathon. The race will take
place on Sunday, November 6, 2016.
“MBA Opens Doors is
thrilled to partner with the TCS New York City Marathon as an official charity
partner,” said Debra Still, CMB,
Chairman of the Foundation and President and CEO of Pulte Mortgage.
“The TCS New York City
Marathon provides a dynamic platform for our dedicated charity runners to raise
significant funds and increase awareness for important causes that are special
to them. W
"e are looking forward to supporting and celebrating our runners, as
they undertake this rewarding journey on behalf of families trying to keep
their home while caring for a hospitalized child.”
Approximately 340 official
charity partners will be part of the 2016 TCS New York City Marathon.
For most families, the
fear of losing a home is second only to the sense of panic that comes with the
need to care for a loved one who is suffering from a major illness – especially
if they are a child. The MBA Opens Doors Foundation was developed as an
industry association model for utilizing both expertise and resources to help
individuals and families facing housing challenges associated with the
significant cost of care for a seriously ill child.

assistance.

Washington D.C., Boston, Massachusetts, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, Denver,
Colorado, and Houston, Texas identifies potential grant recipients.
“We welcome MBA Opens
Doors Foundation as an official charity partner of the 2016 TCS New York City Marathon,”
said Michael Rodgers, Vice President
of Development and Philanthropy for New York Road Runners.
“Our official
charity partner program is one of the TCS New York City Marathon’s most
