All proceeds from the race stay in the community with the proceeds split between Bellevue Forward, a local non-profit and the Northgate Cross County Boosters.

The Northgate Cross County Boosters provide the majority of funding to keep the team running. The money raised from the North Boroughs 5K supports both the middle school and high school runners. It will be utilized for team snacks and meals, spirit wear, end-of-season banquets, training gear and much more.
