2025 "Still Here NYC" Run/Walk

🗽 Still Here NYC 2025 Virtual Walk/Run

A Campaign by Enders Project

Not about sides. About stakes.

New York’s future depends on the people who are still here — and still giving back.

Still Here NYC® is a grassroots, citywide campaign created by Enders Project to celebrate the individuals, neighborhoods, and local businesses that continue to show up for New York City. As people come and go, this is for those who stayed — and are committed to building a stronger, more equitable city from the inside out.

To mark the official trademark registration of Still Here NYC® in October 2025, we’re closing out the year with an open-participation virtual walk/run, inviting anyone who loves this city to join us.

⸻

2025 Open Participation Format

Still Here NYC is free to join.

We believe showing up for your city should be accessible to everyone.

That’s why participation in the Still Here NYC Walk/Run is open and free — with optional ways to support the mission for those who choose to.

This approach allows us to grow the movement, welcome more New Yorkers in, and build a strong foundation for the years ahead.

🌀 How It Works

• Register for free

• Walk or run 1 mile or 5K — solo or with others

• Complete it anytime during the last two weeks of December 2025

• Do it anywhere — your neighborhood, a park, a treadmill, or your own route

• Share your participation using #StillHereNYC

This is not about speed or competition.

It’s about presence, pride, and community.

💙 Why We’re Doing This

Still Here NYC is powered by Enders Project, a mission-driven business reinvesting profits and energy into local communities through real partnerships.

Optional donations support our nonprofit partner:

Enders Project Equal Access, Inc.

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 81-2001459)

To date, the organization has awarded over $150,000 in scholarships to NYC youth for:

• Sports and arts programs

• Mentorship and career development

• Functional nutrition and wellness education

This campaign exists to prove that community-centered action — led by local people and businesses — still matters.

⸻

Local Business Involvement

Still Here NYC also invites NYC-rooted businesses to participate by:

• Donating a small percentage of profits on one day in December

• Sponsoring the campaign

• Rallying staff or customers to participate together

Business participation will continue to expand as the campaign grows.
