Over 13 million children will be bullied this year. Not only are the effects of bullying on a child felt immediately, they can also be lifelong - or even tragic. That’s why The Parker Foundation for Autism and Child Development and other local organizations invite you to join us as we rally around our students, families, and our community to raise awareness of bullying, prevention efforts AND enjoy free family fitness activities at the Expo after the Race!
The Parker Foundation provides free resources to children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and related disabilities and their families through funding education, sports and arts programs. Our #BeABuddy 5K celebrates our bullying prevention initiatives, empowers our Peer Buddy Program, and unites the community in a campaign to keep all youth safe from bullying.
- *If any Youth would like to receive a bullying prevention themed Finisher Medal and a T-shirt, they must register for the 5K Youth Run/Walk (Under 16 years old). Youth are all welcome to run or walk the 5K and will receive a Finisher Medal and T-shirt that can be worn and treasured all year! We are hosting a Free Kids Unity Dash after the 5K is completed (around 10:15 AM) at the Start/Finish Line for kids over a fun 200-yard distance just near the Start/Finish Line Area. If the Youth 5K Registrant would rather only participate in the Dash, we will make sure they receive their Finisher Medal and T-Shirt at the Finish Line or the Race Registration Tent!
