On Saturday April 1st 2017 Children's Home Society of Florida will host our 14th annual 5K. Over the past thirteen years the “Children's Home Society of Florida 5K” has been a critical element of our fundraising efforts in Palm Beach County, and provides assistance for more then 21,000 abused, abandoned and neglected children in our community annually.

Here in Palm Beach County, Children's Home Society of Florida has served thousands of children and families in the past 50 years, by providing a variety of programs that focus on child abuse and neglect prevention and intervention, adoption and adoption support services, mentoring and help for troubled, runaway and homeless teens.
