Schools Offer Support (SOS) is a nonprofit organization that serves members of the Birmingham Public Schools community through outreach efforts, financial support, and volunteer activities.  SOS was founded in 2008 by a group of parents that wanted to work with students to build a stronger community through acts of kindness.  SOS is committed to helping those in need and teaching students that community matters.  You can read more about the mission on our website.  This annual race is our biggest fundraiser of the year and helps us support a vast array of community needs.  Your participation will help SOS to continue supporting families in our community.  Some examples of our outreach are:
·       Food boxes, gift cards and childcare support for financially challenged families ·       Tutoring programs for middle school and elementary students ·       Thanksgiving dinners to dozens of families in need each year·       Holiday gifts purchased and wrapped for families in need·       Leaf raking for seniors in our community·       Financial aid for those faced with sudden emergencies ·       Barbara and Sheldon Weisberg Laptop scholarships awarded to select college-bound seniors annually·       and much, much moreRespecting family privacy is paramount; all needs are filled anonymously.
