Jordan's Furniture Walk/Run For Adoption
About this race
Join us on Sunday, May 17, in Taunton, MA from 10am to 1pm for our annual Walk/Run for Adoption, in partnership with the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange. Register now at https://walk.mareinc.org.
“What makes a house feel like a home?” asks Jordan's Furniture President, Eliot Tatelman. “It's not furniture,” comes the surprising answer, “It's family. But there are currently 1,150 children and teens living right here in Massachusetts waiting for all the comforts of home AND family,” he adds.
That’s why at Jordan's Furniture we continue to champion for children in state foster care. Every year, we coordinate and host the Annual Walk/Run for Adoption to benefit the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE), and their programs, which recruit adoptive parents for children and teens in state foster care.
Our exciting Walk/Run for Adoption event kicks off with a 5K fun-run, consisting of three loops around the course. After the walk/run, participants enjoy family-friendly fun with festivities, food, games, balloons, and more! All the funds raised from this event go towards helping children and teens in foster care find adoptive homes!
