Our dog-friendly 5K was an incredible celebration of community, compassion, and fun! Hundreds of runners, walkers, families, and four-legged friends took to the trails of Borderland State Park in support of students experiencing homelessness and poverty.
The joy and connection is a powerful reminder that humane education starts with empathy for all, and for the communities we build together.
Thank you for showing up, stepping forward, and making a lasting difference, one pawprint at a time.
