We are looking forward to hosting our 9th Annual Superhero 5K & Fun Run on May 1st, 2021 at Hains Point, as we kick off National Foster Care Month. This family-friendly fundraising event celebrates the everyday superheroes that make a positive impact in the lives of DC's youth in foster care. Proceeds from this event will all go toward supporting our mentoring program for local youth in foster care. 

We know that in-person activities and group activities are still completely up in the air, however, at this point, we are keeping our fingers crossed that we can join together safely in-person in May for this wonderful event. We certainly have missed all the energy, costumes, and smiling faces that we've always looked forward to seeing. As long as it is safe to do so, we plan on holding an in-person race option this year that is a great, family-friendly and fun event. 
​ Given the uncertainty we're facing, we have decided to continue offering a virtual race option this year that includes some added technology that will make your participation a bit more interactive and easy. Between May 1st and 31st we are asking our supporters from all over the world to get out and run, walk, cycle or jog in solidarity with the BEST Kids team and the youth we serve.
