The Crenshaw Mile is proud to support birthFUND, a network of families committed to expanding access to safe and affirming birth care across the country. Registered participants can make a donation that will go towards supporting their vital work in tackling the maternal mortality crisis one family at a time, matching individual funders with families in need of quality birth support through midwifery.
This partnership also marks the kickoff of 2025 Black Maternal Health Week (April 11-17), underscoring our commitment to raising awareness and supporting initiatives that uplift Black mothers and families. By participating in the Crenshaw Mile, runners and community members are directly contributing to meaningful change in South Los Angeles.
