Register to Run or Walk Virtually to End Homelessness

Run To End Homelessness event logo

Chicago nonprofit A Safe Haven (ASH), dedicated to ending homelessness, will hold its second annual Global Virtual Run/Walk To End Homelessness from July 17 through 25. All proceeds go directly to help feed and house an average of 5,000 homeless people, including reentry women and children, youth and military veterans residing at the foundation. They are currently offering sponsorship opportunities and registration.

Participants will be able to register to virtually run or walk a 5K, 10K, half marathon and a marathon. Tens of thousands of people have participated in this event since its inception in 2010. All registered runners and walkers can receive a commemorative T-shirt and facemask gaiter.

A Safe Haven is seeing a surge in demand for food, housing and services during the pandemic.  Thousands of people that were living paycheck to paycheck have lost jobs and homes, and many essential workers that have been infected by COVID-19 need a place to isolate and get access to health and behavioral healthcare services.
