OhioHealth Grandview Yard Half & Quarter Marathon

Supporting Charities

The OhioHealth Grandview Yard Half Marathon Supporting Charity program creates new opportunities for nonprofits to engage supporters, build community and raise funds through race participation and volunteerism.

We are excited to welcome the following Supporting Charities for the 2026 event: 

The organization now known as the "Military Order of the Purple Heart," was formed in 1932 for the protection and mutual interest of all who have received the decoration. Composed exclusively of Purple Heart recipients, it is the only veteran’s service organization comprised strictly of "combat" veterans.

Make Your Miles Count in September for Childhood Cancer Research
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and CancerFree KIDS invites you to keep moving all month long as part of their 100 Mile Challenge to fund life-saving pediatric cancer research at Nationwide Children's Hospital and Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
Why? Because less than 8% of federal cancer funding goes to childhood cancers, and you can help change that to fund research that is helping create gentler, more effective treatments for kids with cancer.
The CancerFree KIDS 100 Mile Challenge is a 30-day fitness and fundraising challenge. Participate by completing 100 miles of any activity (running, biking, walking, yoga, swimming and more!) and raising $100 or more to support the mission. 
This year's goal is $1 million, and you can help make that happen. Sign up a community team or as an individual, and learn how to donate at https://www.cancerfreekids.org/100milechallenge
