Garys Run –

Supporting the children of New York City for over 20 years!

Garys Run was founded in 2020, but the good work is a continuation of the work Gary Marano began at the Racoon Lodge, that continued after his death.

What started as a yearly Christmas Toy Run has grown and Garys Run is now an IRS recognized 501-c-3. Our intent is to continue the toy run; AND grow to help families in need throughout the year.

This young boy saw Santa from his window and came out to bring Santa a bag of cookies! How precious,

Santa leads the way up the FDR drive in Manhattan as with his Elves in tow; bringing toys to children in New York City.
