Support the Collier Fund at MIT

The MIT Strong team is drawn from across the MIT community: undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni. We are proud to run for MIT, and grateful for the support of our families, colleagues, and friends.

Sponsor an individual runner—or the team as a whole

We will honor Officer Collier at the marathon this spring—and, by raising money for the Collier Fund at MIT, on our campus far into the future. The Collier Fund will enable the Collier Medal and other aspects of the MIT community that reflect his character and values. Support the team in two ways:

1. Sponsor an individual runner
To sponsor an individual team member, select his or her name from the list at the right to visit their MIT Strong page, where you will be directed to a runner-specific donation form on the MIT Giving site.

2. Sponsor the team as a whole
You may also sponsor the team as a whole. Credit for gifts to the entire team will be shared among all the runners towards their individual fundraising goals. To sponsor the team as a whole, make your gift through the MIT Strong general contribution form:

>> Make a gift to sponsor the entire team – select “in honor of” and enter “MIT Strong Team” to direct your donation to the general team account. Thanks!

Thank you!

We are grateful for the support of our contributors. Feeling the strength of so many family, friends, and colleagues motivates us through our training in a particularly harsh winter, and will propel us to the finish line in April. Thank you for being part of our effort.

In tribute to Officer Collier, the Institute has created the Sean A. Collier Memorial Fund. Supporting the MIT Strong team will help this new fund get up and running. Gifts to this fund will be used to establish the Collier Medal—to be awarded to individuals who demonstrate the values and character of Officer Collier—as well as other causes.

We are grateful for your support. Please visit our giving page to sponsor an individual runner or to make a contribution to the team as a whole:
