Make a real impact
in our community by supporting WAYS for Life through our annual
Race to Independence 5K!
This family-friendly event is a movement to empower youth in our community who are aging out of foster care, facing homelessness, or navigating life without a strong support system. All proceeds go directly toward providing critical services like mentorship, housing support, GED tutoring, career coaching, therapy, legal assistance, and so much more.
Whether you want to run, volunteer, fundraise, or simply help spread the word, there’s a way for everyone to get involved and make a difference.
-
RUN – Compete or walk at your own pace—solo or with your family. Strollers and all ages are welcome!
-
VOLUNTEER – Help with setup, cheer on participants, or assist with water stations and registration.
-
FUNDRAISE – Create a peer-to-peer campaign to rally your network and raise awareness.
-
SHARE – Promote the race online or invite a friend to join you!
By showing up, you're helping us walk alongside youth who need guidance, connection, and opportunity.
Let’s race toward independence, TOGETHER!

Rally your friends, family, and colleagues to sponsor your run or donate to the cause.
