Boston Marathon - George Benner

The Claddagh Fund

My name is George Benner. I am very excited about running in the 2019 Boston Marathon. I am honored to take part in this historic event. I’ve lived in South Boston, Massachusetts my entire life and I’m a big fan of the Dropkick Murphys. In 2009 I became a big fan of the bands charity, “The Claddagh Fund.” I feel blessed to be running along side thousands of amateur and professional runners on Patriots Day. I’ve also had the good fortune to volunteer at several Claddagh Fund charitable events in the past and I’ve meet hundreds of beautiful people.This is another great opportunity for me to be part of The Claddagh Fund, and it’s a great way for me to give back. I love this city and I love this charity. I Gotta Gotta Gotta Run!!!

About The Claddagh Fund

The Claddagh Fund was founded in Boston in 2009 by Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys. Ken, his bandmates and their families have supported charities throughout the history of the band. Understanding the power of their position to harness the passion and generosity of their fans, the Claddagh Fund was created to raise funds for and broaden our impact on worthy, underfunded non-profits that support the most vulnerable individuals in our communities.
