The CIGNA Falmouth Road Race shattered its fund-raising record at last month’s 35th running, raising $1.05 million for the 42 non-profit groups it supports with its “numbers-for-nonprofits” program. Each year the race directors provide guaranteed entries, exempt from the lottery and with an extended deadline, to selected charities.
The charities then offer the entries to runners, who solicit donations for the non-profit. More than 600 people participated in the program this year. Runners in the 2006 race raised $861,318 and the total for the past five years is more than $3.5 million.
This year’s top fundraiser was Falmouth-based Compassionate Care ALS, which received over $119,000. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Boston was a close second, with $118,925.
