Summary:
Greetings. We wanted to personally invite you to GIVT’s Inaugural RISE+RUN 5K on March 30th at the YMCA in Boca Raton. We will be coming together as a community to raise awareness around childhood poverty in South Florida. Please join us for a fun, healthy, and family friendly event highlighting a need that exists in our community today.
The Check-In begins at 6:30am., Race begins at 7:30am., and the Little Bunny Hop at 8:30am. We will present awards, medals for all participants, kid’s zone, breakfast, music, and giveaways. The registration fee is $30.00 for Adults, $15.00 for children (8-17 years), and FREE for the littles (up to 7 years). FREE race shirt and bunny ears for each registered runner. Click here to register now —> SIGN ME UP.
Our purpose at GIVT is to address a need that is currently unmet. In the state of Florida, basic hygiene essentials are considered luxury items and do not qualify for government assistance. We advocate for children facing this adversity. Through community awareness, fundraising, and donations we are able to provide the basic essentials for those who need it most. We’re excited for the opportunity to impact lives together with you and we hope to see you on Saturday March 30th at the start line.

Trustbridge Hospice Foundation is partnering with FXE to host this event and all proceeds will benefit Trustbridge Hospice Foundation and raise crucial funds for local families in their greatest time of need.

After taking in the sights and sounds on FXE’s runway, participants will disembark into the Uptown 5K Urban Village for post-race fun and festivities. The Village will feature live entertainment, a kid’s zone, food stations, team tent celebrations and much more.
