Help me raise money for Hope for Haitians to support education in Haiti.
I will be participating in the Fun Bun Run a 5K Walk/Run which raises funds to provide education to poor children in Haiti. This year, the onsite race is in Geneva IL on May 8th and the virtual race is April 27- May 6th from anywhere in the world.
This is our 10th annual 5K for Education and our goal is $25,000. The funds we raise will provide the hundreds of children that live in our villages with school uniforms, books, lunches, and tuition so they could attend school and get an education to help them stop the cycle of poverty that is currently their life.

About Hope for Haitians’ work in Haiti
Over the past 19 years, Hope for Haitians has built over 745 small homes in Haiti that have a concrete floor, cinder block walls, and a metal roof. Over 4,200 Haitians live in these homes that have been erected in 16 villages. Each village is also given a water well, livestock, fruit trees, and other means to generate food and provide overall sustainability for the village.
