StopGap, Inc. focus is working to empower youth aging-out of foster care and other youth at-risk of homelessness.
The 5k run and walk on April 15th, 2023 is a fundraising event for StopGap's Lighthouse Transition Program.
All proceeds will go towards this 18-24 month program for young adults aging out of foster care, including a 4–5-bedroom home that will provide a secure living environment for youth to live, learn, and develop the crucial skills needed to transition from dependence to independence. Our mission is to prevent homelessness through support.
Learn more about our organization (https://www.stopgapinc.org/) and the 5k event (https://runsignup.com/Race/KS/Lawrence/TotheLighthouse5K). Volunteers are not required to register through RunSignUp unless they want to race and/or donate through the registration fee.
Volunteers will be needed for setup, checking in participants, handing out water bottles, keeping participants on the designated path, distributing food/handout bags, and takedown/cleanup.
As the event starts at 8:00 am, we will need volunteers for setup at 6:30 am and takedown at 10:00 am.
