BeKind 5k Run or Walk
About this race
Join us for the BeKind (with Brandon's House) 5k to run or walk 5k to support free counseling for teens and families! We want to raise $50,000 to support mental health counseling for children and teens in our community. Brandon's House is 100% supported by the same community we serve.
We run and walk in memory of Ella — a smart, beautiful, and athletic young lady whose wit, kindness, and vibrant spirit left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her. This 5K is part of the BeKind movement, born from her life and legacy — reminding us that even the smallest act of kindness can have a powerful ripple effect. Join us in honoring Ella Reese Walker and helping kindness go the distance.
