As an official charity partner for a third year, we’re not simply running through the streets of New York on Sunday, November 1, 2026—we’re racing towards a future where every individual has access to comprehensive healthcare, education, and the essentials for a stable life. By supporting our runners, you become part of a compassionate community dedicated to steering vulnerable families towards a horizon of health and stability. Your support offers more than relief; it’s a commitment to transforming lives and breaking cycles of poverty and abuse.

Since 1866, The Floating Hospital has remained steadfast in its mission to care for New Yorkers with the fewest resources and the greatest needs. Our mission is grounded in the three enduring pillars that have defined us for 160 years: providing essential relief necessities to families in crisis; delivering leading, evidence-based health education that empowers individuals across generations; and offering high-quality, compassionate healthcare to the city’s poorest residents.
