Introducing Team Azalea Charities

Team Azalea Charities (TAC) represents a group of athletes who combine their love of running with a desire to help wounded warriors around the world.  As a Marine Corps Marathon Charity Partner, Azalea Charities provides members with a guaranteed place in the Marathon in return for a commitment by the athlete to raise a specified amount to benefit Aid for Wounded Soldiers.

This year, Team Azalea Charities will include individual runners as well as “fit and wounded” teams.  The fit and wounded teams are comprised of five athletes, and must include one wounded member. These teams represent active or former veterans of the American & Allied Forces who have served, or shall serve, in the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. In partnership with the Allied Forces Foundation (AFF), Team Azalea Charities (TAC) has embraced a unique model of recognizing and inviting unit teams - including the wounded - to proudly share the challenge of the MCM in Washington DC.

Team Azalea Charities uses ActiveGiving, an online fundraising system that allows athletes to set up their own webpage with a personal message and photo.  This easy-to-use tool can receive online donations and generate receipts, so a participant doesn’t have to handle any cash transactions.

You can help Team Azalea Charities by participating in an event, supporting one of the athletes with a donation or taking advantage of one of the volunteer opportunities outlined on our website
