Join Mercy-USA for Aid and Development and the Oakland Muslim and Friends Running Club (OMFRC) on Sunday, May 18, 2025, from 12–3 PM at Bloomer Park (345 John R Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48307) for our 5K Run/Walk for Yemen—a community-powered fundraiser to support families in urgent need.
All proceeds will provide food baskets and water for displaced families in Yemen. Just $150 sponsors a family for an entire month, and our goal is to raise $10,000 to feed over 65 families.
This event is perfect for all ages and fitness levels! 🏃♀️🚶

- A light lunch (main dish provided by Mercy-USA)
- Fun potluck of sides and desserts (bring something to share!)
- Inspiring speech by our guest speaker
- Field games for kids, access to the playground, and Bloomer Park’s scenic trails
- Finisher medals, t-shirts, and a chance to win awesome prizes for top fundraisers and race winners!
Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your participation makes a real impact. 🌍❤️
