ANGELS OF MERCY 5K
Help STOP Human Trafficking
& Violence Against Women!
The 2022 5k will be going live this year. Check back for details coming in August 2022!
We are excited to offer a VIRTUAL Race and Event this year!!!
DESCRIPTION:
HELP STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING & VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
WHY:
Join us again for our annual 5k/1mile fun run/walk! We adapted our fundraiser for the safety and needs of our community last year and it was a great success. We have decided until further notice this is the way to best run our event.... virtual! This race continues to be one of the largest fundraisers for Angels of Mercy NY and we are so grateful for the continued support. We have been able to serve over 1500 women in the community this year alone by providing them clothing, personal hygiene items, shoes, coats, hats gloves, accessories and resources all while offering a no contact experience. This fundraiser is the best way to help our organization right now as the donations and drives have been extremely generous this year!
You can choose to run, walk or choose a different event! Just click on activity of choose when signing up if running and walking is not your excersise of choice. Also, if you would rather not participate you can choose to simply donate to AOM.
We look forward to running and walking with you virtually!
