We Can Do More
Virtual Fundraiser Benefiting Black Lives Matter #BLM5K
Why We Are Doing This?
The intention behind the Virtual 5K is to DO something. Of course it is important to support the organizations financially, as all organizations promoting change have financial needs, however this is just the beginning of what we can do.
There are ways we can actively be learning about Systematic Racism and how we play into that system. It is important to constantly educate ourselves and in turn change our actions, thoughts, and beliefs, for the betterment of society contributing towards equality, inclusiveness, respect, and justice for everyone.
When
All of June and July 2020
How To Participate
We ask that people watch an educational video, read a book, an article, or watch an interview about systematic racism and really reflect during their run on what they have learned, and how they can start making the change today in their own lives. You can also make a donation. Be sure to take a selfie in our Virtual Booth showing your support!
EDUCATE YOURSELF
Read a book or host a watch party then take a selfie in our Virtual Booth and post on social media.
