Strides for Shelter 5k and Fun Run

STRIDES FOR SHELTER
5K RUN/WALK

Sponsored by the Canopy Housing Foundation

THE CANOPY HOUSING FOUNDATION WILL BE RETURNING TO MCALPINE CREEK PARK FOR OUR 5th ANNUAL STRIDES FOR SHELTER 5K ON OCTOBER 24, 2021

Proceeds from the 2021 Strides for Shelter 5K Run / Walk will benefit Hope House Foundation. The Hope House Foundation’s mission is to provide transitional housing and supportive services to women and children who are experiencing homelessness in Mecklenburg County in order for them to procure long-term housing and self-sufficiency.

Funds from the race will be specifically used to complete the renovation of the Hope House Foundation’s garage area to create a play/learning space that cultivates resilience in children experiencing family homelessness. This newly created space will expand the services being offered by the Hope House Foundation to include new toys, books, and play experiences in a learning environment.

The Canopy Housing Foundation is the charitable, non-profit arm of the Canopy Realtor® Association (formerly known as the Charlotte Regional Realtor® Association). The Foundation works to create a community where all housing needs are met. The Foundation and its 12,000+ Realtor® members create housing opportunities through advocacy, education, funding and leadership.

Thank you so much for your support of the Strides for Shelter 5K and Hope House Foundation. Since the inception of the Strides for Shelter 5K in 2016, the Canopy Housing Foundation has returned $65,000 from the race proceeds to several worthy local beneficiaries who are all working to address the needs of the homeless.

We look forward to seeing you at McAlpine Park on October 24th as we continue to make Strides for Shelter by funding housing needs in our Charlotte community.
