Description

The Rene G. Haley Initiative giving season begins with our Spring Fundraiser.

Please join us for our 3rd Annual “I Don’t Give A 5K” walk/run fundraiser on Sunday, April 27. 

We always have a great time, and it’s a family-friendly event with competitive participants and exciting results. The race goes on, rain or shine, and we have a great time, no matter the weather. 

We aim to raise $10K or more to support our community programs like the RGHI Annual Holiday Toy Drive, Fall School Coat Drive, The Huddle, educational workshops for young adults,and the RGHI college scholarship fund. We continue to give back to the community in remembrance of Rene G. Haley, an avid sportsman participating in swimming, snowboarding, basketball, skateboarding, and flag football events in the DMV. We miss him and continue to honor his life by helping youth and young adults in the community.

Rene wasn’t a runner; as a matter of fact, he “didn’t give a 5K,” but he supported his mother through all her 5K and marathon runs. And he was a fast runner when he had to. 

As we celebrate his birth date, April 30, we continue celebrating his life and unique spirit. So please come as you are, walk or run, have fun, meet new people, and enjoy the beautiful trail as you support the Rene G. Haley Initiative. If you cannot join us for the 5K (Walk/Run), we would appreciate your donation.
