Team Dignity Matters 2026 Boston 10K for Women Application

Team Dignity Matters will be at the Boston 10K for Women on Saturday October 10, 2026!

Each Team member commits to raising funds to help Dignity Matters provide free menstrual care to women and girls living in poverty. Menstrual care is expensive and there are no government programs (not even SNAP/Food Stamps or WIC) that help people afford these items when they need them. 2 in 5 women and girls regularly miss work or school because they don't have menstrual care!

BONUS: Avoid the locker lines before and after the race and leave your items at the secure, fully-staffed Dignity Matters Tent!

To be considered to receive a bib to run the 2026 Boston 10K for Women on Saturday, October 10th, 2026, please complete this application. Each Team Dignity Matters bib comes with a requirement to raise $500 or more to help us provide free menstrual care to women and girls living in poverty.

Matching Gift Policy: Many companies match employees’ charitable contributions. You can check with your employer and ask your donors if their employers match gifts. Many companies issue matching gift checks quarterly or semi-annually: if you plan to use a match to reach your minimum, it is your responsibility to contact the matching company to ensure the check is issued before the fundraising deadline (October 31, 2026). It is your responsibility to request any documentation your employer needs from Dignity Matters.
