Our Purpose

This event will be called A Child's World to help emphasize the limitless possibilities of today's children. We know together we are transforming futures by championing the potential of children, youth and families through nurturing development, sheltering those in need, and guiding emotional well-being.

We will have an interactive component that helps participants prepare for the event with training and healthy development activities regardless of their age. This is not your average 5k because scattered throughout are challenges to test participants skills and teach a little about these development focus areas: gross motor skills, fine motor skills, speech and language skills, cognitive and intellectual skills, and social and emotional skills.
