26 Miles for 26 Charities

Seton Southwest has been selected as one of the 2011-2012 Charities to participate in 26 Miles for 26 Charities. Funds raised will benefit the Sr. Jean Wesselman Nursing and Allied Health Scholarship Endowment and special projects at Seton Southwest Hospital as designated by the Seton Fund Board of Trustees.

26 Miles for 26 Charities is the philanthropy program of the LIVESTRONG Austin Marathon and Half Marathon. The program provides Central Texas non-profits with the opportunity to advance community awareness while raising money to support their mission.

Participating non-profits host a water stop on the marathon or half marathon course. Each non-profit is assigned their own water stop and will be represented by over 1,000 volunteers. Runners will find great themes along the course, many of which reflect the mission of the non-profits. We hope this provides a moment of joy for the runners as they make their journey to the finish line.
