National Association for Multicultural Education: 5K for the Founders 2026

Join the National Association for Multicultural Education for our first-ever National Founders Day 5K Run/Walk, a powerful new tradition designed to bring our community together—across cities, states, and regions—in celebration of our shared commitment to multicultural education, belonging, and collective impact.

• Support a national organization advancing multicultural education.
• Help fund programs, initiatives, and conference opportunities.
• Build community across NAME regions and chapters.
• Promote wellness, unity, and purpose.
• Be part of a new annual tradition rooted in storytelling and impact.
