Rhonda Walker Foundation celebrates the 15th annual Give and Get Fit Health and Fitness event on Sunday, July 27, 2025, including a 5K/10K Run/Walk & Health Fair!

Give and Get Fit will bring together over 400 health-conscious Metro Detroiters and friends from around the country, of all ages for a fun-filled weekend of health, fitness, and a 5K/10K run/walk along the beautiful Detroit Riverwalk or at a (virtual) route of your choice! All registered 5K/10K participants will receive a performance shirt, medal, and special discounts from our partners! Shirts are only guaranteed for 5K/10K pre-registered attendees.

Proceeds benefit Rhonda Walker Foundation's award-winning, five-year Girls into Women Program for inner-city teen girls that includes college prep, career and personal development mentoring, health and wellness, and community outreach. We encourage all participants to become a Champion for our RWF Teens by fundraising $250 to support our award-winning Girls into Women Program, celebrating nearly 20 years as Detroit's premier mentoring organization for teen girls.

RWF Teen Spotlight: Jordanne L. - Class of 2024

RWF Alumna, Jordanne is a graduate of Renaissance High School where she maintained a 4.2 GPA. As an honor student, Jordanne received the Science and Engineering Fair of Metropolitan Detroit Green Award, National African American Recognition Award from the College Board, the Perfect Attendance Award and was an honor student all four years of high school. In addition to RWF, she was an active member of Midnight Golf, the Detroit Pre-College Engineering Program and the Fashion Club.

“A significant lesson I have learned from the RWF organization is that it is important to take risks ad do things outside of your comfort zone in order to grow as a person. RWF has helped me to become more confident with myself, to get comfortable speaking in front of crowds and meeting new people.”

Jordanne, RWF Class of 2024
