Everyday Heroes Race2Rescue Fundraiser: Virtual 5K Run/Walk
Help Rescue & Rehabiliatate Victims of Child Trafficking
We’ve innovated. We’ve mitigated. But is anyone else ready for some time outdoors, a challenge, and some camaraderie? Would you like to get out and enjoy a physical challenge with a virtual team of friends and family? Do you want to make an impact that changes lives? We’ve got the perfect 5K Race and Walk for you: Everyday Heroes Race to Rescue!
So much has changed in our world in the last year. But we have remained committed to our mission to raise awareness about child human trafficking and to raise funds to help rescue and rehabilitate children caught in the plight of human trafficking.
The trafficking of children hasn't stopped during this unprecedented time in our history. Children still need your help! We are committed to continuing our efforts to make an impact through rescuing and rehabilitating children who are victims of trafficking. Join us virtually for our sixth annual race where participants can get active, be eligible to win prizes, and make a difference!
Runners and walkers of all ages are invited to join us. For those who are competing, first place medals will be awarded to the male and female first place finishers of the 5K in five age group categories for both the virtual and in person events.
