  • A campaign to plant trees in deforested areas of Kenya
  • A project to provide security and educational opportunities for children victimized by violence in the Tana River District of Kenya
  • Support of entrepreneurial activities by East-African women's groups (brick-making, fish-farming, vegetable growing, crop irrigation)
Other 2013 Lansing Marathon Charities include the Beekman Therapeutic Riding Center, Lansing Boys and Girls Club, Mid-MEAC, the South Lansing Community Development Association (SLCDA), the Capital Area Down Syndrome Association (CADSA), and the Michigan Coalition against Homelessness.
