Charity bib fundraising support

Brooks connects everyday runners to causes they care about, turning participation into purpose by supporting charity bib fundraising teams at major marathons. Through this program, we partner with select running-centred nonprofits that use charity bib fundraising to build awareness and raise funds for their missions. We support these teams with performance running gear and financial contributions tied to their individual fundraising goals.

Employee Giving

Our Employee Giving program empowers Brooks employees to make an impact in their communities by donating their time, resources, and Brooks gear to organizations and causes they care about. Together, we’re building a culture of generosity and helping more people experience the power of the run.
