Who We Are

The American Legacy Foundation, a public health organization established in 1999, is dedicated to building a world where young people reject tobacco, and anyone can quit. With 1,200 Americans dying every day from tobacco-related diseases, smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in our country. With your help, Legacy will continue to protect our youth from ever starting to smoke and provide valuable tools and resources to anyone who wants to quit. In doing so, we will fulfill our ultimate mission: to save lives.

For additional information, please call (212) 584-5752.

Your contribution in support of Team Legacy is a donation to a public charity and is tax deductible to the extent provided for by law. We will send you confirmation of your donation for tax purposes for any donation made by credit card and for donations made by check equal to or exceeding $250 (per IRS regulations, donations less than $250 do not require documentation). Contributions made by check should clearly identify the runner you are supporting and should be made payable to the American Legacy Foundation.  Unfortunately, we cannot accept international donations or process international credit cards at this time.  Payment must be made in US dollars.
