Event Description

Join us for a powerful 5K walk/run that weaves through the heart of our community in solidarity with the Palestinian people. In a time when expressions of support and unity are more meaningful than ever, this event aims to bring together individuals to fill the space with the vibrant spirit and undying hope of the Palestinian cause.

Inspired by the global symbol of solidarity, watermelons, participants are encouraged to embrace this motif in their attire or through creative displays, echoing the voices of those who stand in support of Palestinians right to return. This family-friendly event is more than just a race; it's a statement of unity, a celebration of culture, and a stride towards understanding and peace. All are welcome to join, run, walk, and stand with us as we move forward together, embodying this journey of resilience demonstrated by the Palestinian people.

 

Where does the money go? 
What differentiates Gather Good from other nonprofits is our firm commitment to transparency in every single donation received. Our primary objective is to allocate the funds collected to support the people of Gaza with essential food and daily living necessities. Despite the challenges of delivering aid to the Gaza Strip, our aim is to securely deposit all donations into a trusted bank account until it is possible to provide vital support such as food and hygiene products to as many individuals as possible. Our ultimate goal is to raise sufficient funds to assist those living in temporary shelters to establish more sustainable living conditions as Gaza rebuilds over the years. We are committed to publicizing all financial transactions to ensure complete transparency for our donors.
