David’s House

Our Mission–David’s House is a 20-bedroom home-away-from-home for families with children receiving medical care through Dartmouth Health Children’s. Founded in 1986, we are named in memory of David Cyr who passed away at age five after a long battle with leukemia.

We provide a warm, caring, fully stocked home and support 24-hours a day, 365 days a year for families from around the world, whether they stay with us for one day or for many months while their child receives the medical care they need. We don’t charge a fee for families to stay with us and we don’t receive state or federal funding, so grassroots fundraising is the way we support our ongoing operations. To date, we’ve served over 16,000 families from 42 U.S. states, 2 U.S. territories, and 28 foreign countries.

To support our mission, members of Team David’s House are asked to raise $500, with your $95 registration fee going toward this goal.
In recognition of your commitment to helping us spread the word about our amazing mission and raising funds to support it, David’s House will provide:

A gathering tent at the start and finish with team-only snacks and refreshments
Transportation of personal items from the race’s start to the finish locations
Access to fundraising tips and guidance
Exclusive runner gifts
Tons of support and encouragement leading up to and during the race

The Family Place

Our Mission: The Family Place delivers comprehensive programs designed to strengthen positive relationships, teach essential skills and promote enduring healthy growth for families with young children in the Upper Valley and surrounding communities.

The Family Place is a local non-profit that delivers holistic programming and support for families with young children in the Upper Valley. Each year, we provide services for more than 1,500 children and families in 44 towns throughout the Upper Valley region of Vermont and New Hampshire.

The Family Place is an inclusive and enriching hub where every Upper Valley family is welcome. While many families come to us when they are experiencing hardships such as abuse, trauma, or specific developmental challenges, other families come because they are interested in learning more about supporting their child’s healthy growth or they want to connect with other
families in their community. The Family Place is the only organization that provides early intervention programs for young children as well as comprehensive family support to all families in this community.

Support healthy children and families in the Upper Valley! Register online to Run on Team Family Place!

Positive Tracks

Our Mission: Positive Tracks equips ages 12 – 25 with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to change the world through the power of physical activity. We call it sweating for good.

The future is bright: Positive Tracks is a 501(c)3 non-profit that teaches young people how to Sweat For Good®. Youth partner with Positive Tracks for free help building and leading their own Positive Tracks Challenge – an athletic event, or series of events, designed to champion a cause or organization of their choosing. From start to finish, Positive Tracks provides tools and coaching to help youth create and amplify skills like team building, community engagement, cause advocacy, leadership, event planning, fundraising, promotion and more. Youth are climbing mountains to combat COVID; running to support racial justice; shooting hoops to end hunger.

From 2010 to 2023, we have helped 100,113 Positive Trackers turn 445,016 miles and 152,247 hours of physical activity into advocacy, activism, and $12 million for hundreds of causes shaping our shared future. In 2024 alone, we have supported 729 leadership experiences and are on track to double those efforts by year-end.
