NASHVILLE, TN — Soles4Souls, the Nashville-based global nonprofit committed to turning shoes and clothing into opportunity, will host its fourth annual Race4EveryKid during the month of May. Race4EveryKid is a virtual movement challenge to raise funds to provide shoes to kids experiencing homelessness in our community and across the United States.
To kick it off, Soles4Souls is hosting a launch party and family friendly one-mile fun run/walk on Saturday, May 4 from 9:30-11 am CST at the Mission Picnic Pavilion in Shelby Park located at South 20th Street and Shelby Ave. in Nashville. This is a free, family-friendly event.
Whether you choose to walk, run, cycle or swim, every $20 raised will provide a pair of new shoes for a homeless child, allowing them to attend school, try out for a sports team and stay active. More than one million children in the U.S. are considered homeless, and more than 5,000 in Middle Tennessee kids lack a stable residence.
You can participate in Race4EveryKid as an individual or as part of a team by registering online and setting up a personal race page to collect pledges for every mile you run, walk, swim or cycle. Supporters can donate through the race page.
