The story

His first marathon, at 50

On November 1, Dr. Carlos Paz runs the Two Cities Marathon. It is his first, a goal he is checking off at 50.

He is the father of two club soccer players. He knows what the game gives a kid, and he knows what it costs. For many Central Valley families, club fees and gear put that chance out of reach.

He is asking friends, family, patients, colleagues, and neighbors to turn those 26.2 miles into a gift for Level the Playing Field. A dollar a mile is $26.20. More is welcome.

At Paz Dermatology, investing in the health and future of our community has always been important to us. This is one small way we can help local young people chase their goals, on the soccer field and beyond.

Level the Playing Field Fresno

A 501(c)(3) helping young soccer players cover club registration and equipment, so talent, not tuition, decides who stays on the field.
