The Markow Family Foundation is a nonprofit organization embracing a comprehensive approach to philanthropy, aiming to create a lasting impact on the lives of children and communities, ensuring a brighter and more equitable future for all.
About the Foundation
We are thrilled to announce that our President, Dan Markow, will once again represent the foundation at the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge on April 21, 2025. This event, which began in 1990 with just 19 runners, has grown into a major athletic and philanthropic event, with over 500 participants.
Our foundation, committed to enhancing and transforming the lives of children in adversity and their families, finds a strong ally in the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge. This marathon raises significant funds for cancer research, resonating deeply with our mission.
Dan has set a goal to raise $10,000. Half of this amount will be sourced from generous donations, while the foundation pledges to matchup to $5,000. Every contribution brings us closer to making a significant impact in the fight against cancer.
To support Dan and our collective mission, please visit the Fundraising page on the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge website. Your support can make a world of difference.
The Foundation engages in a variety of mission-focused events throughout the year. Using the past efforts of the Sterling Companies as a starting point, we work to build our community engagement through alliances with organizations that are similarly focused.

Meet the Markow Family
The Markow Family Foundation in conjunction with Sterling Corporation has successfully delivered 9,831 pounds of peanut butter to the Merrimack Valley Food Bank, Inc. as part of the Move For Hunger 2025 Spread The Love Drive. That’s 3,331 pounds more than last year—a record-breaking achievement made possible by the generosity and dedication of our team!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and helped make this possible. As our president Dan Markow shared: "I’m incredibly proud of our contributions to the Spread the Love drive and grateful for our partnership with Move for Hunger. This effort shows the dedication of our team and the impact we can make together. A sincere thank you to everyone who contributed to supporting families in need."
Hunger is a year-round issue, and we’re honored to contribute to Move for Hunger’s mission and look forward to next year's efforts.
