Organiser's description
**RAIN OR SHINE**
The event is a fundraiser for KHK's programming, in partnership with JFS of Greenwich. The run/ walk is located at Kosciuszko Park, 200 Elmcroft Road, Stamford. The mission of Kids Helping Kids is to facilitate the development of leadership skills through youth-led service projects. All of our projects are initiated, managed and led by youth who want to make an impact in the community. Since our inception in 2009, KHK volunteers have planned more than 5,000 projects to benefit under-resourced children in Fairfield County. We are proud to partner with JFS Greenwich and support their refugee settlement agency. Our youth volunteers are spearheading an effort to provide new board games, coloring books, and card games for children. We are asking all participants to bring one of these items to the event.
All are welcome to register on our website by September 5th for early bird pricing. Following the walk/run, please join us at the park pavilion for refreshments and a volunteer activity for the whole family!
