Welcome to the
Run & Walk Foundation

Born from a deep desire to transform lives, the Run & Walk Foundation is a haven of hope, healing, and new beginnings.

 

We are dedicated to creating real opportunities through: supporting women rebuilding after domestic violence, empowering youth to reach their potential, and honoring the service of our veterans.

​

Whether taking the first courageous step away from crisis or steadying the path toward a brighter future, we walk alongside our community every step of the way.

Women with Helmets

We provide a safe, supportive environment for survivors to heal and regain their independence. Through educational scholarships, career development, and trauma-informed support, we empower women to rise above hardship and create a stable, secure future for themselves and their families. Every step taken is a courageous move toward second chances and lasting peace.

Youth Group Talking

We invest in the next generation by creating pathways to education, personal growth, and self-sufficiency. By connecting young individuals with mentorship, leadership training, and workforce opportunities, we help them unlock their full potential and build confidence. Together, we ensure every youth knows that a brighter future is always within reach.

Military Reunion Hug

We stand dedicated to honoring those who have served by aiding their transition into rewarding civilian careers. Through targeted trade certifications, career guidance, and community resources, we give back to our nation’s heroes. We are committed to helping veterans navigate their journey toward long-term stability, success, and community connection.

How We Can Help: Support, Prevention, & Resources

Every individual deserves safety, respect, and economic stability. Whether you are seeking immediate protection, navigating family challenges, or looking for path-to-stability resources, you don’t have to do it alone.

In Crisis or Need Immediate Safety?

If you are in immediate danger, please call 911. If you need safe shelter, crisis intervention, or confidential support, specialists are available 24/7.

Proof That Second Chances Can Transform Lives

At the Run & Walk Foundation, we believe that hardship, trauma, or past obstacles should never define a person's future. Through our signature Second Chances Scholarship Program, we provide individuals with the resources, career training, and mentorship needed to rebuild their lives and achieve long-term stability.

​

Sometimes a person must run from crisis, danger, or instability. With the right support, they begin to walk toward healing, self-sufficiency, and success.

​

From trade certifications in CDL training, healthcare, and skilled trades to cosmetology and higher education, our scholarships remove financial barriers. We don't just offer financial assistance—we provide hope, dignity, and wraparound guidance every step of the way.

​

Every scholarship awarded is proof that when a community invests in an individual's potential, we cultivate a stronger, more resilient future for everyone.
