    Join us on Saturday, May 4th @ ACU Campus for a SUPER FUN time!

     
    Why Run?

    We believe all children should be supported and feel safe and for the children experiencing abuse or neglect, this is not the case. The goal of our event is to increase awareness of our volunteer services advocating for children from Taylor County in the foster care system, to recruit new volunteers and raise funds to support our mission. All proceeds from this event directly support our mission.
