MDF Fundraiser Opportunity

We’re excited to invite you to the Indy Runners Charity XC Challenge on Monday, September 7, 2026, in Indianapolis! This 5K race is a fun way to stay active while supporting the Motyka Dannin Osteopathic Educational Foundation (MDF), a cause directly benefiting osteopathic medical students and residents.

Runners and walkers of all abilities are welcome!

Why MDF Matters
MDF is a nonprofit dedicated to advancing osteopathic medicine by providing scholarships and financial support to students, especially those from Indiana and those attending Marian University Wood College of Osteopathic Medicine (MU-WCOM). Each year, MDF awards a $10,000 forgivable loan to an osteopathic medical student, helping reduce the financial burden of medical school so students can focus on their education and future patients.

We also support students and residents through grants and other educational opportunities. 

Why Your Participation Matters
When you register under the MDF team, $15 of your registration fee goes directly to MDF. Every participant helps fund scholarships, loans, and support programs that make a real difference in the lives of DO students.
