At Friends of Kenwood Academy (FOKA), we are running to champion the power of vibrant, diverse public education in a time when it’s needed most. Public schools like Kenwood Academy face growing challenges—from funding shortages to looming budget cuts—that threaten the quality and equity of education our students deserve. We believe strong public schools are the foundation of thriving communities, and we’re committed to making sure Kenwood continues to grow, inspire, and lead.

Kenwood Academy is more than just a school—it’s a launchpad for talented, driven students who go on to achieve great things. From rigorous academics and award-winning extracurricular activities in the arts and athletics, to supportive teachers who nurture high expectations, Kenwood creates an environment where students are prepared not just for college, but for life. The school also benefits from a dynamic alumni network that remains deeply involved, mentoring students and giving back to the next generation of Broncos.

By running, we aim to raise awareness and vital funds to support these programs, bridge budget gaps, and ensure Kenwood remains a place where excellence is expected, supported, and celebrated. We invite you to join us—by donating, spreading the word, or lacing up your shoes with us—to invest in the future of public education and the students who will shape tomorrow.
