Organiser's Description
Join us for the SHRM WASHINGTON DC CHARITY 5K [https://www.shrm.org/foundation], a community-focused race uniting runners, walkers, and supporters for a morning of movement, connection, and impact.
While our primary mission is to raise vital scholarship funds for the SHRM FOUNDATION, supporting initiatives that build better, more inclusive workplaces and empower workforce development, our early November timing brings a special seasonal theme of giving. In addition to supporting education, this year's event features a Gratitude and Veterans Appreciation Drive. Participants are invited to bring a new pack of warm thermal socks or stop by our race-day station to write a handwritten note of thanks for local veterans at the Washington DC VA Medical Center. To make it easier to purchase socks click here for our AMAZON WISH LIST [https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/215MFR9KCBEK5/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2]. Thank you for your support of our Veterans.
