Hope Rises 5k Fundraiser

Hope is on the rise — and you can be a part of it. Come run the Hope Rises 5k to help the International Protection Alliance stand against human trafficking. Every entry helps provide the tools, resources, and encouragement survivors need to build a future of freedom and possibility. A brighter future isn't something we have to wait for. Together, we can create it now.

All funds from this race go to support International Protection Alliance, a nonprofit organization that stands at the forefront of efforts to stop exploitation and protect communities from online predators. Learn more about them on their website here, visit their Instagram here, and feel free to donate on the Fundraise page!
