More About Our Charity Partners For This Event

Back on My Feet
Back on My Feet, founded by Anne Mahlum in Philadelphia in 2007, is a nonprofit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of homeless populations by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem. Back on My Feet DC does not provide food or shelter, but instead provides a community that embraces equality, respect, discipline, teamwork and leadership. Our organization consists of much more than just running: our members participate in a comprehensive program that offers connections to job training, employment and housing. Those benefits are earned by maintaining 90 percent attendance at the morning runs three days a week for our six to nine month program. .

Friendship Children’s Center The Friendship Children’s Center is a non-profit organization established in 1989 to provide high quality early childhood educational experiences for children between the ages of three months and five years. The school provides a wide variety of developmentally appropriate programs and experiences that enhance each child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth within an atmosphere that encourages critical thinking, respect for others, a sense of responsibility, self-discipline, and independent learning.
