Step up 4Ukraine
About this race
🌟 Please join us for our 2nd annual Step up 4Ukraine 5K run/walk to show solidarity and support for Ukraine!
"Step Up for Ukraine" is organized by Branch 10 of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA), which proudly celebrated its 100th anniversary last year! 🎉
For a century, UNWLA has been dedicated to promoting Ukrainian culture, supporting humanitarian efforts, and advocating for those in need. 🤝💙
This year we invite you to commemorate our milestone by taking steps that make a difference.
Whether you run, walk, or cheer, every step you take will contribute to our ongoing efforts in supporting Ukrainian civilians and frontline medics.
100% of proceeds will go to a women's mental health program supported by UNWLA called "UA Mental Help". 💖 It's a Ukrainian charitable foundation dedicated to providing accessible psychological support to individuals affected by the ongoing war. Their mission focuses on reducing stigma, ensuring quality, and enhancing the accessibility of psychological services across Ukraine. ✨
Together, we can make every step count!
