The New York Asian Women’s Center (NYAWC) is the largest Asian American focused domestic violence agency in the country, a premier human trafficking serving organization, and a national demonstration project that provides model services to survivors of sexual assault.
NYAWC's marathon team, Team Phoenix, has spots available for the TCS NYC Marathon in November. Over the past four years, Team Phoenix has raised nearly $150,000 in unrestricted funding which supports critical but underfunded programs, and boosted awareness worldwide for the services we provide to survivors of violence and abuse. As Team Phoenix turns five, we call upon your help to form a team that will represent NYAWC among 50,000 runners and raise crucial support for our programs.
If you want to run or know someone who does, contact Carvey Hor at chor@nyawc.org to sign up for guaranteed entry with complimentary registration fee.
If you are interested in becoming a cheer captain, contact Carvey Hor at chor@nyawc.org.
