Description

Be a hero for the kids! Join us at the Maryville Greenbelt Amphitheater on Saturday, April 27, 2024 for our fifth annual Heroes for Hope 5K & Fun Run fundraiser. Let's join forces and get moving to raise awareness for child abuse prevention. All proceeds benefit New Hope Children's Advocacy Center.


Did you know that 1 in 10 children will be sexually abused before the age of 18? At New Hope, our mission is to restore hope to abused or traumatized children and their families in Blount County. We believe every child deserves a healthy, safe childhood.


Use your superpower to take a stand against child abuse, and register for our race today!
