Saturday, April 10, 2021

There’s still time for your friends and family to join you and/or support you.

Your support is very much appreciated!! Lace up those sneakers tight and let’s get ready to give a mile for a foster child!

 #HopeRaisersUnite

*This virtual 5k supports foster children through the Eckerd Connects Community Alternatives program in Hillsborough County and the Raising Hope Program

How It Works

On Saturday, April 10th….

  • Wear blue!
  • Complete your 5K as far as you want, wherever you are, how you like & with whoever you want!  Bike, swim, walk, run, boat, watch TV….the possibilities are endless! Practice social distancing of course.
  • Share your photos on social media using the hashtag #HopeRaisersUnite.
  • Tag @eckerdconnectsus and @raisinghopefl on Facebook and Instagram so we can share in the fun with you!

Why Run/Walk?

DID YOU KNOW? An average of 7 children are removed from their homes every day in the Tampa Bay area due to child abuse and neglect.  That is more than 2,500 a year and many cannot return home due to unsafe conditions.

With your support will be able to continue to provide emergency items and fund activities or needs to our foster children that are not covered by government funded services.
