Denver Mamas for Gracie’s Giving Project

We are the Denver Mamas Relay Team (although we just acquired an amazing Dad)! Our relay team includes Alix, McKenzie, Kate, Sarah, and Daniel. In addition to the team, this fundraising page includes family members and friends running or walking various races over the marathon weekend - we are all united in honor of sweet Gracie and in support of Gracie's Giving Project.

Will you support our efforts with a donation to Gracie's Giving Project? We're grateful for donations large or small. Thank you for contributing. 

Learn about Gracie and Gracie's Giving Project :

Gracie Gonchar was a happy, sparkling girl full of curiosity and love. When she was tragically killed on March 24, 2024 while crossing the street in Boston with her family, she was just a few months away from turning 5 years old. Deep in despair and grief, her family turned the loss of Gracie into something that could be magical and transformative for communities with the founding of Gracie’s Giving Project. With a mission focused on making children happy & advocating for pedestrian safety across communities, the family is turning their grief into a space of community building and love. 

With that, Gracie’s Giving Project has become an official charity partner of the 2025 Colfax Marathon Weekend. The Colfax Marathon - itself a nonprofit organization - aims to help groups like us raise money with no strings attached…every dollar raised will come back to Gracie’s Giving Project and work to support our communities in Denver and beyond. Thank you for supporting Gracie’s legacy and for understanding the importance of getting this organization into a great place to make change in the future.
