This November I am participating in the Quack Attack on Poverty 5k benefiting United Against Poverty. During the race I will be making my way through a 3.1 mile course…all while wearing an inflatable duck-shaped pool float around my waist! I’m really looking forward to being part of this event and making a meaningful impact in this community.

This year, our Quack Attack fundraising efforts are particularly focused on two initiatives:

• Hope for the Holidays: This event provides essential holiday cheer with a hearty breakfast and gifts for children, ensuring families can celebrate the festive season together.
• Hopeful Harvest: Aimed at providing a Thanksgiving meal to those in need, this event fosters community spirit and gratitude during a time that can be particularly challenging for many.

All funds raised from sponsorships, registration fees, and participant fundraising pages will directly support this two initiatives. We invite you to join us in this vital cause. Your support can make a real difference in breaking the cycle of poverty and transforming lives in Orlando. Together, we can ensure that the spirit of giving and community support shines brightly this holiday season!
