Support our First Fundraiser!
On April 21, 2025, Justin’s Dad will be running the Boston Marathon to honor Justin’s legacy and raise support for the Justin Benjamin Foundation. Whether you’re in the Boston area or cheering from afar, you can be a part of this special journey in many ways!
“My dad has been running for years—something Justin and I always admired. After we lost Justin to sudden cardiac death in September 2023, running became harder, but my dad kept going. With Justin as the wind at his back, he qualified for the Boston Marathon, one of the most competitive races in the world. This year, he’s dedicating his run to Justin and raising funds through the Justin Benjamin Foundation to support students and the causes Justin cared about. Please consider donating or spreading the word. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you for your support!”
—Augustine (Justin’s Brother)
