Description

Please join us on Sunday, June 8th, at the beautiful Millennium Park for the Ele's Place - West Michigan Healing Hearts 5K!

Let's "Run for Kid's Grief Relief" in this brand-new event that will raise funds and awareness for grieving children, teens and their families in Grand Rapids and the surrounding West Michigan area. Ele's Place is a healing center for grieving children and teens. We provide grief support groups for kids ages 3-18, who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or anyone significant in their life. All services are free of charge for as long as a family needs them. This is why we need YOU!

We invite families, corporate partners and the community to participate in this outdoor, family-friendly, "fun" run/walk event to raise funds for grieving kiddos, with the option to honor, celebrate and remember someone special in your life who has died. This event is an opportunity to put “one foot in front of the other” to support our peer-to-peer grief programs and ensure they remain FREE OF CHARGE to all who are in need of our services today, tomorrow and always. Let's come together to make sure that No Child Grieves Alone.

Grab your sneakers and meet us at Millennium Park!
