Run4TheChildren 2021

Short review

We are back and better than ever in 2021!

The global Coronavirus pandemic has touched each of our lives.  Many of us and our loved ones affected, and forever changed.  Our hearts are with you all!  And as we make it to November of this year, may we come together to do an amazing work and run for some kiddos!!  From now on, one of the things we will have in our races, are a virtual option.  The one thing from COVID that we'd like to carry forward.  Let's do this!!

Today, UNICEF estimates the number of orphan children to be 140,000,000. While that number is staggering in size, we believe in “doing for one, what you wish you could do for all”. By running in this race, or donating to it, you are doing your part to meet this crisis head on.

Run4TheChildren began in the Spring of 2011 as a fundraiser to help families adopting children. Many people don’t know that there is a huge financial barrier to adoption. Both local and international adoption can cost the adoptive family upwards of $30,000. There are many families who would consider adoption, but simply cannot afford it. This was on the heart of Dr. Scott Balin when he dreamed up the concept of Run4TheChildren. Each year, Run4TheChildren has brought in funds to help many families bring home their children.  Today in 2021 - we have helped 27 children find their forever family.  Celebrate with me, and let's keep growing that number!
