Annual 5k Run,

About the event

According to the St. Louis area food bank, the city of St. Louis has 80,675 people living in poverty, which is 23 percent of the population. There are 135,000 youth who are at risk of hunger and 85 percent of children enrolled in St. Louis Public Schools rely on free or reduced-cost meal programs.

This spring we are hosting a community 4^th Annual 5k Run Against Poverty in St. Louis. Our goal is to raise awareness of hunger and poverty within our city and to raise funds to help feed the homeless and hungry.  We are asking your business to help us in our mission and become a business sponsor for the upcoming program.

Why should you sponsor?

With your sponsorship you will be supporting our goal of feeding the hungry and homeless in the city. All of your donations are tax-deductible and we are a registered non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
