HealthStart Partners with Austin Marathon Gives for the 6th Year

HealthStart is 1 of 26 charities chosen to be a part of The Austin Marathon’s charity program, Austin Marathon Gives. This awesome program connects non-profit organizations to passionate race participants and community members willing to fundraise and raise awareness for causes that give back to our local community. The Austin Marathon will be held on April 25th, 2021 with virtual running options. 

With a swift transition to virtual learning, HealthStart has had to make significant changes to continue supporting children and their families how they need us most. This year we are raising funds to continue digitizing our programming to benefit families in the community who may not have access to other disease prevention and mental health resources, especially during times of remote learning.
