Event Description

Join us for the Footseps for Families 5K and Mile Walk, a community event dedicated to promoting family well-being and raising awareness for child abuse prevention. Hosted by GlobeMed at Rutgers in partnership with Prevent Child Abuse New Jersey, this event supports PCANJ’s mission to strengthen families and build safer, healthier communities across the state.

As participants move through each kilometer of the course, they’ll learn about the Five Protective Factors - key pillars that support strong families and reduce the risk of abuse and neglect. Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, you'll be part of an impactful movement for prevention, resilience, and hope.

All proceeds from the race will benefit PCANJ and its statewide programs that provide education, resources, and support for children and families.
