Location: East Chapel Hill High School, Chapel Hill
This event brings together community supporters, families, and volunteers to make a positive impact on local youth. Together, we raise awareness and support for our mission of providing backpacks and academic scholarships.
Founded in honor of Kristian Monet Richardson, who tragically passed on May 16, 2021, MRCF is dedicated to continuing her legacy of philanthropy and making a difference in the lives of families, one youth at a time.
Optional: Wear angel wings for our “RUNNING WITH THE ANGELS” inspiration.

Don’t miss out on raffle prizes featuring hotel stays, restaurant gift cards, jewelry, and more—tickets are just $20 each (cash or credit only). You must be present to win!
Top Finishers!

The top 2 overall winners (1 male, 1 female) will receive a wonderful gift basket donated by Raising Cane's with ~$100 worth of merchandise and gift cards!
