Back on My Feet depends heavily on individual support to succeed. We currently have more than 600 volunteers and more than 5,000 individual donors. We are so thankful for all your continued support as we wouldn't be where we are without you.
Back on My Feet is much more than a running club. We are an intensely diverse family that is built on the foundation of unity, strength, teamwork, leadership, support, trust, love and hope. We come together to run at least three days a week to move our own lives forward and those of our teammates. In addition to accomplishing mileage goals, our members are furthering their education, getting jobs, quitting smoking, eating better, feeling better, smiling more and hugging tighter. It's truly a beautiful thing to be a part of and we need your support to keep growing.
The demand for the BOMF program is high. We have more than 139 members and are adding an average of 30 members a month. With your help, the number of individuals we can help is limitless. It costs approximately $100 to add a new member to the program. To host a member for an entire year, which includes earned access to our grant program that is used for housing-related and career-related expenses as well as the opportunity for educational scholarships, it costs BOMF an average of $1,800.
