Relay for Charity

The IMT Des Moines Marathon and Bankers Trust have partnered together to support United Way of Central Iowa's healthy lifestyle choices.

All prize money from the Bankers Trust Marathon Relay will be administered by the Des Moines Community Foundation to nonprofit charity programs through the United Way of Central Iowa.

The top 4 teams in each race division have 3 options to choose from where their charity prize money can be donated to:

Teams can chose to donate to United Way of Central Iowa's Community Fund (which supports efforts in education, income and health), some 68 partner organizations (find a list of partner organizations by clicking this link www.unitedwaydm.org/partners), or eligible organizations (a health & human service organization that is a 5o1c3 and has a presence within and serves the people of the State of Iowa).

If the team picks an organization that ends up being ineligible for some reason, they will be contacted and asked to choose another organization.

The PE4Life program has been targeted and will be promoted as the primary United Way Community Fund program in 2013. The goal is to raise $2,000. Once that goal has been met, Community Fund contributions will go towards health initiative strategies. If a team selects a charity other than United Way, funds will go through United Way to that organization.
