RUNNING WITH PURPOSE
Since 2012, Grace-in-Motion has raised over $385,000 to promote education and human dignity in underserved communities around the world.
This year, 100% of the proceeds from Run for the Kids will go directly toward building emergency family homes in Panama, in partnership with our longtime partner, Abraham Project.
Together, we’re helping families find safety, stability, and hope—one home at a time.
