Event Description

The Race: Join us in raising awareness and funds to develop resources and community for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children and their families. To participate in this race, simply register and create a plan to complete 3.1 miles (5k) in 30 days from September 1st through the 30th. Enjoy the race as you plan the date, time, and location(s) anywhere! You can even go to the gym and walk on a treadmill. Every step/lap counts. 

This is our second year, and we're adding live events in Indiana and California -- on September 9, or if it rains, the 16th. If you're around Indianapolis or a bit east, we're meeting at Anderson University just off route I-9 (aka Scatterfield Rd). If you're around Riverside, CA, meet at the large globe on the California Baptist University campus. Though we'll start in different time zones, we're planning on a little overlap so the groups can greet one another over Zoom and get a few words from our new Executive Director (a former CBU student!)

Who You Help: Proceeds collected through the race will go into the ongoing development of resources for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children and support all the work of Deaf Kids Connect (formerly named Silent Blessings Deaf Ministries). This includes families having free access to the Deaf Kids Connect app (formerly named God Loves Deaf Kids) and other American Sign Language resources – so they can know and understand the love of God. 

We want to serve Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children and their families through reaching those families and churches with awareness and training and developing bilingual Biblical education resources in American Sign Language and English.
