5K Running & Reading Challenge - VIP Event
Join us for a powerful day of inspiration, achievement, and connection as we celebrate the incredible journey of over 700 children in our Start2Finish programs. Throughout the school year, these young champions have trained with dedication and heart to take part in our signature 5K Race and Literacy Challenge—a celebration of perseverance, learning, and growth.
As a valued guest, you’ll witness firsthand the transformative impact of your support. If you're new to our organization, welcome—we’re excited to introduce you to the heart of our mission and the lives we’re changing together.
You’re invited to take part in the day—run alongside the children as a pacer, or join us at the finish line to cheer them on and help present medals on the podium. However you choose to participate, your presence will mean the world.
