Annual Market Street Run for Blue

In 2019, a new yearly tradition began—an opportunity to run or walk Market Street in support of the Philadelphia Police Department. The 5-mile route starts in Old City near the Delaware River, stretches 2.5 miles to 30th Street Station by the Schuylkill River, and loops back to the finish. Each step taken shows our unity, strength, and appreciation for those who serve and protect our city.

Making The Most Impact

While we’re proud of the progress we’ve made in supporting the Philadelphia Police, the Philadelphia Police Foundation is more driven than ever to expand our impact. As public safety challenges continue to evolve, the need for strong support, resources, and innovation grows. The Foundation remains committed, energized, and ready to help make Philadelphia, and all who live, work, serve, and visit here, safer and stronger.

Always on Duty

The Philadelphia Police Foundation holds two unique fundraising events each year. The Night for Blue in the Spring and the Market Street Run for Blue in the Fall. In between, we are active with Press Conferences, PPD Appreciation Days, Special Donor Events and much more.
