Jordan's Walk-Run for Adoption

Join us for the 17th Annual Jordan's Furniture Walk/Run for Adoption!

At MARE, we know that all children deserve a safe, loving place to call home. However, the reality is that in Massachusetts, there are currently 1,150 children and teens in foster care awaiting adoption who have no relatives or other potential adopters.

That's why we're hosting our 17th Annual Jordan's Furniture Walk/Run for Adoption! This main event includes festivities, food, games, balloons, and family-friendly fun! Walkers and runners are invited to complete a 5k fun-run, consisting of three loops around the course. All the funds raised from this event go towards helping children and teens in foster care find adoptive homes!

Registration opens February 9th!
