Event Description
About this Event
Please join us in raising funds for foster, former foster, abused and neglected children in Ventura County and the Conejo Valley! The HOPE4Kids Festival & Run is a community effort sponsored by RaisingHOPE, Inc. to raise awareness of the needs of youth in foster care and raise funds to meet the needs of youth in care. Monies raised by this event will go directly to assist foster youth including but not limited to paying for orthodontic treatment, special medical equipment, textbooks for college, and extracurricular activities such as sports equipment, camps, musical instruments, arts, driver's education courses and more!
There are many ways that you can support this cause. You can participate in our 5K/10K Run/Walks as an individual or as a team. Children ages 0-9 can participate in our 1 Mile Fun Run. Thank you for supporting the youth in our community!
