Children's Home Society of WV Third 5K
About this race
In loving memory of Buffy Bonwell.
Children’s Home Society needs your support. On May 30th, 2026, we are hosting our third annual 5k fundraiser at the University of Charleston. The Children’s Home Society has been serving children and families for over 129 years. Today, we have 13 primary locations and 28 physical locations to provide adoption, foster care, and emergency shelter care statewide. Our goal is to raise funds that will assist the needs of the children at the Davis Child Shelter and in our Foster Care and Adoption Program.
The 5K run/walk race will be hosted at the University of Charleton. Water stations will be set up for the convenience of the participants.
