Description

Celebrate National Foster Care Month by participating in the Sock & Undie Rundie!  

This 5K run/walk raises awareness of the tangible needs of kids in foster care. FosterAdopt Connect distributes food, clothing, and other necessities to foster and adoptive families through Sammy's Window. One of the biggest needs is new socks and underwear for foster youth, who often come into care with only the clothing they're wearing.  

Sign up for this race today. Then, Run! Hop! Skip! However you choose to get there, you must complete 3.1 miles. This year we are back in person at the beautiful Berkley Riverfront Park. 

And don’t forget a costume! We encourage you to have fun! This is the Sock and Undie Rundie, so maybe you have some crazy socks or funny boxers you'd like to wear. This is a family friendly event and we're raising money to help foster kids. So make sure your costumes are appropriate. 

Proceeds support FosterAdopt Connect in our mission to keep foster kids safe and end the cycle of generational child abuse and neglect. Learn more at fosteradopt.org. 

Sock & Undie Donation

We recommend that you bring a package of socks or underwear to the event if you are attending in person. We will have bins for you to drop the donated items in at registration packet pickup. If you are attending virtually, you can donate through our Sammy's Window Amazon wish list!

Your donation will be distributed through Sammy's Window to foster and adoptive families across the Kansas City metro.
