The Flagpole Hill Fund seeks to promote opportunities in track & field and to use the sport, and running in general, to foster positive outcomes across society.  They support programs to remove economic barriers to participation; to increase participation in the sport among historically underrepresented groups; to raise awareness and provide support for mental health needs for athletes; to promote a better understanding of health-related issues, especially those specific to teenage girls and young women who run; and to celebrate and sustain the sport of track & field.
