Organiser's Description

Latinas Leading Tomorrow (LLT) is addressing the unique challenges and barriers faced by Latinas in their academic success and personal development. We recognize that schools often overlook the cultural, language, and socio-economic needs of Latino students, and we aim to bridge this gap through cultural responsiveness and mentorship.
Come out and enjoy this scenic, flat running path in the heart of DC near the Nation's Capital. We invite you to support our upcoming 3rd annual Reach for the Stars 5K Run/Walk, where funds raised will directly contribute to our efforts in empowering Latina students. We have an ambitious goal of $45,000 this year. We are confident that with the help of individuals, corporate sponsorships, and the community coming together, we can reach this goal!
Thank you for your support in addressing the unique challenges faced by Latina students and promoting their academic success and personal development.
