Since Back on My Feet launched in Baltimore in March 2009, Charm City Run has been a huge supporter of our efforts.

CCR, who has a strong presence not just in the running community, but throughout the greater Baltimore area, jumped at the chance to include BOMF in their already extensive list of community partners.  Not only has CCR been the sole carrier of BOMF merchandise in Baltimore, but they have also worked tirelessly with us on securing race entries, hosting runs at their store for our members and offering a generous discount for BOMF affiliates.  In recent months, CCR and BOMF have expanded on their partnership and are excited about the potential that lies in the upcoming months.

Due to the success of our recent partnership with the Maryland Athletic Club, the Baltimore chapter would like to recognize MAC as its Company of the Month.

Since January, MAC has been offering BOMF members to join at a discounted rate as a thank you for their work in the community. Furthermore, the MAC has opened it’s doors for BOMF events and runs in the case of inclement weather. Teams have since held two Yoga events in their studios, providing members with exposure to a form of exercise quite different from, but complementary to, running.

“Wachovia – Baltimore is proud to support Back on My Feet, an organization that builds confidence and a sense of purpose in the homeless men and women it serves.

When the obstacles they face can seem insurmountable, the simple act of running shows them that they can set a goal, and reach it, by making a little bit of progress each day.

Wachovia feels strongly that  it is not only important to support the organization financially though a recent  grant of $10,000 but also by committing to the education of their members through the development  of a financial literacy ciriculum currently in progress.”

– Michael Willetts, Vice President and Senior Relationship Manager of Baltimore Business Banking for Wachovia Bank, A Wells Fargo Company
