New York City-based lawyer Dyan Gershman founded Gershman Law, PLLC in 2014. Gershman Law, PLLC is a boutique corporate law firm that provides a wide range of corporate and commercial legal services to US and international clients. Attorney Dyan Gershman is also an avid runner. She is a longstanding member of the New York Road Runners (NYRR), and has participated in many of its races and has also ran the New York City Marathon.
NYRR envisioned and created the annual New York City Marathon in 1970, which is now its largest running and fundraising event. What started as a local road race in Central Park has become the largest marathon in the world today. This marathon brings together thousands of runners and volunteers in Central Park and the city's five boroughs and millions of spectators from around the world. In 2014, international IT services, consulting, and business solutions provider Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) became the title sponsor of the New York City Marathon. Since then, TCS has been the year-round partner of NYRR through support of its programs. Also, the marathon was renamed the TCS New York City Marathon. In July, TCS extended its sponsorship contract with NYRR through 2029. The extension is following TCS’s plans to invest between $30 and $40 million in running sponsorships and community programs worldwide through 2029. As part of the renewed sponsorship, TCS will donate $4 million to NYRR’s youth and community programs such as the Rising New York Road Runners, which integrates physical education with the daily activities of school children. Furthermore, TCS will host the Team TCS Teachers Program. This program will select 50 teachers from across North America who share their passion for running with their students. These teachers will enjoy free entries to TCS-sponsored races, and marathon-themed lesson plans that are part of “Ignite My Future in School,” the STEM education program of TCS.
