Amarillo Marathon is an all-volunteer organization, and we could not present this event without the generous support of our
race volunteers and sponsors. This is truly a community event and we do our best to support members of the community who
have donated their valuable time to help ensure that our participants’ needs are addressed. We are so grateful for you all.
If you are interested in volunteering or for those interested in individual or corporate sponsorship of the 2015 Amarillo

All proceeds for this special event will go to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Amarillo (RMHC). RMHC of Amarillo
provides a “home away from home” for families of sick children who travel to Amarillo for medical care. They serve families
with children ages birth to twenty-one. The top diagnoses last year were neonatal illness, accidents, high risk pregnancies and
oncology. Families were from seven states and Australia! RMHC of Amarillo provides lodging, evening meals, laundry facilities,
and transportation within the medical district to these families.
