Jersey Boys

Most people we come into contact with on a daily basis have attended an event, a concert, a sporting competition, some type of event that they remember and will remember for the rest of their life. We are all extremely grateful we get to experience these events, but there are also others that will never get to, because they suffer from indivisible disabilities that prohibit it. Kulture City is changing that and is currently working with organizations to build sensory rooms throughout the US in stadiums, restaurants, and many other types of venues so that those with indivisible disabilities have a safe place and can take part in these life changing events.
On November 3rd 2024, we will look to tackle the NYC Marathon representing the KultureCity family; the nation’s leading nonprofit on sensory accessibility and acceptance for those with invisible disabilities. 1 in 6 individuals have a sensory need or an invisible disability. These are individuals with ptsd, autism, dementia, strokes just to name a few, and need our help.
It’s extra special when you can combine raising money for a great cause and enjoying it with friends. It all started out as a way to spend some time together during a pandemic. Tiki Barber, Jeff Castellano, Joe Fuda, Jeremy Phillips, and Adam Reitz would get together every Saturday morning and push each other to go the extra mile. They were bonded together by friendship, fatherhood, and their love for running. Eventually those 10 mile runs turned into longer runs….and the rest is history.
On November 3rd, Jeff, Joe, Jeremy, and Adam will take on the New York City streets for their 3rd marathon together (Tiki will be calling an NFL game unfortunately).
Will you please help the Jersey Boys hit their amazing goal of $20k for a very special cause?
Thank you all very much for your generosity.

For Finish Lines and Field Trips

On October 12th, 2020 my son was diagnosed with autism. Although it was difficult news, so much of his behaviors and anxieties began to make sense—he had struggled in crowds and in noisy areas for as long as we could remember. I’d been an avid runner before he was born but when he’d come to watch me race, finish lines were usually uncomfortable.

Since that day in October we’ve learned a lot about how to best help my son in social situations and we’ve put to practice all that KultureCity has to offer. We’ve visited zoos and museums and grab sensory bags and have taken breaks in quiet zones. As a mom, I am keenly aware of situations that might not be sensory friendly and safe and those instances create stress for me. When my child goes on a field trip, I typically go along and have helped him leave spaces his class is in simply because he’s overwhelmed. I know in those moments that I’m blessed to be there for him but understand the anxiety that parents and loved ones feel when they can’t go along. I know that for every child in sensory crisis there are overworked teachers and staff trying to help. I also believe in inclusion and know that when a finish or a trip is KultureCity certified that there are tools and trained staff available to help mitigate overload and make the experience better for everyone.

With high hopes for reasonably accommodating finish lines and field trips, I am running for KultureCity.

Join me in making a difference at the New York City Marathon! As we prepare for a 12-week training cycle this summer, we’re maintaining motivation by fundraising to support those with invisible disabilities and sensory needs through a group close to my heart, KultureCity.

In our joint effort to support this organization, we are providing those with invisible disabilities or sensory needs a safe space in venues that most of us take for granted. These venues include but are not limited to zoos, aquariums, restaurants, concerts, sports arenas, cruise ships, airports and more.

Together, we’re “making the nevers possible” for individuals who face these challenges every day as your donations expand their already existing 1,800+ venues worldwide.

Personally, running has always been a way for me to connect with others, and now, I’m channeling that energy into something truly meaningful. With your support, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.

This fundraising effort will go up to Sept 1, so please consider giving a tax-deductible donation or sharing this link with someone who might be interested.

Every dollar raised will go directly to KultureCity’s expanding network of sensory inclusive venue space. You can donate directly on this page or if you’d like to learn more, please visit www.kulturecity.org.

So, whether you’re cheering from the sidelines or donating to the cause, know that your contribution is helping to create a more inclusive world, one step at a time. Join me in running with purpose and making a lasting impact!
