Whether you choose to participate on your own or with a Neighborhood group, you’ll be raising awareness in your community about the hundreds of kids who need adoptive homes.

Neighborhood Walk/Runs 

Each local Neighborhood Walk/Run will be self-organized by a community volunteer. These are low-key get togethers whose main purpose is to promote community among local advocates for adoption from foster care. Each organizer will bring their own flavor, but in general you should expect to meet up with other virtual participants (wearing your Walk/Run shirts of course!) to complete the 5k in a local neighborhood, park, or public area. Contact the local Neighborhood leader in the listing below for more details.
