Open Heart Magic Charity Team

After testing different shirt colors we found that Charity Team runners not only look best in red, but they are also faster in red. And each step is to help kids!

Do something epic: join Open Heart Magic’s Charity Team

The miles run and the funds raised by Open Heart Magic’s Charity Team inspire and support our Hospital Magicians in their efforts to reach thousands of sick kids each year. Thanks to the impressive dedication of athletes on our Charity Team, Hospital Bedside Magic® is able to go where other programs don’t — to reach kids at critical moments in their treatment.

Race with a purpose. Fundraise for Bedside Magic®.

The Charity Team is critical to Open Heart Magic’s mission of bringing laughter and hope to kids in hospitals. And with our low fundraising requirements, team members find that fundraising’s a breeze. Whether team members are competing, training, fundraising or just spreading the word, they get lots of support from the Open Heart Magic community.
