5K Run for Hope Race Description

Join us for our 3rd annual 5K Run for Hope!! Proceeds will support Hope Endeavors a 501(c)3 non-profit in supporting children suffering from extreme poverty, and help support an orphan care center in Malawi, Africa that currently provides a home for 40 HIV positive children.

Proceeds from the run will help provide funds to build a secondary school in the village the orphan care center is located at, allowing the children to remain at the care center and receive life-saving care while allowing them to progress in their schooling. The closest current secondary school is 5K from the care center, making this a fitting event.
