Join us on April 6th 13th, 2025 at Michigan State University's campus for "Race for Humanity," a 5k event organized by SJP. This initiative is driven by our collective desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others. The 5k is more than just a run; it is a symbol of solidarity and compassion. Our goal is simple: to support Palestinian refugees in their pursuit of a better life. We want to emphasize that this event is rooted in humanitarian principles, transcending political boundaries. It’s about coming together as a community to make a meaningful difference. Race for Humanity is an opportunity for individuals from all backgrounds to stand united by a common purpose. It’s a chance to demonstrate that, despite our differences, we can work toward a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Mark your calendars and lace up your running shoes for a day filled with purpose, unity, and a shared commitment to creating a positive impact. We look forward to seeing you at the Race for Humanity on April 6th 13th, 2025, at Michigan State University's campus!
