The Fresh Air Fund is an organization that helps intercity children from the five boroughs get out of the city for the summer. They can either attend one of the five camps or stay at a host families house for up to two weeks at a time. Normally the host families and children develop an amazing bond and wind up returning for many summers after. The Ainsworth are long time friends with the foundation and are hosting an event tonight that will support The Fund that sponsors racers for the NYC Half Marathon which is on March 21, 2010.
