Support Team Extreme
Each year, we invite a team of community members to run the TCS New York City Marathon with us, and their fundraising efforts are instrumental in not just sustaining our programming, but also expanding awareness of our work and cultivating a sense of community pride.
Last year, our team raised over $30,000, the highest amount ever raised. We could not have done this without the help of our supporters, near and far. This year, the New York City Marathon returns, and among the tens of thousands of runners on the streets that day will be a special group: Team EKC. Every dollar they raise helps Extreme Kids & Crew create joyful, inclusive spaces for neurodivergent children and their families.
Extreme gratitude to our board member, Shell Lee, for his leadership, and gigantic cheers to the board and EKC community for their support. Reach out to get involved: shell@extremekidsandcrew.org.
“I’ve seen how life-changing inclusive spaces can be, through experiencing a similar setup in the UK where a close family member attended. I want to help more children and families access that same sense of belonging.”
-Celia Boddy, 2025 runner
“Running 26.2 miles feels like the perfect way to challenge myself while giving back to a cause that matters.”

“EKC’s commitment to fostering confidence and cultivating a strong sense of community through arts and play programs is truly inspiring. These efforts are vital in helping these kids to live healthy and fulfilling lives.”
-Christian Scheffold, 2025 runner
I know firsthand how important communities like this are. My uncle Jason, who sadly passed away, found joy, friendship, and space at similar social clubs in the UK. These spaces gave him a sense of belonging, and he even met his long-term partner through one of them. I’m running in his memory and to help ensure that more children and families have access to the same kind of support that meant so much to him.
If you’re able, please consider donating - every contribution, big or small, helps Extreme Kids & Crew continue their amazing work.
