CommunityPress ReleaseGeneral News Article

The Hope on the Run 5K Series is a community-centered running initiative designed to unite participants of all ages and abilities in support of local survivors of child abuse and children in foster care. This empowering three-race series invites runners, walkers, and supporters to hit the pavement while making a direct impact on local lives. Hosted in a county-wide partnership with Bridge A Life, the Child Protection Center, and The Twig, the Hope on the Run 5K Series celebrates compassion, community engagement, and active support for family programs. Every stride taken in the series contributes to vital services for children and families touched by adversity across Sarasota, North Port, and Venice, Florida.
