STRIDES FOR SHELTER
5K RUN/WALK
A virtual race option is also available
Sponsored by the
Canopy Housing Foundation
MCALPINE CREEK PARK
OCTOBER 24, 2021
On race day, we will be giving away a prize for the best adult and the best child's costume!
Proceeds from the 2021 Strides for Shelter 5K Run / Walk will benefit the Hope House Foundation of Huntersville. The Hope House Foundation’s mission is to provide transitional housing and supportive services to women and children who are experiencing homelessness.
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.
K 104.7 radio host Sheri Lynch will be our Grand Marshall
Sheri Lynch is an award-winning broadcaster, the author of two best-selling books, and holds a Masters Degree in Social Work. Sheri is also an intermediate-level tap dancer, a crazy cat/dog lady, and the mom of 2 or 6 or 9 kids, depending on who’s home for dinner. A Philadelphia native who was raised in northwestern Wyoming, Sheri is a bookworm, a pop culture fanatic, and an enthusiastic fan of aliens, Bigfoot, zombies, abandoned places, and goofy Americana. When she’s not tormenting Bob Lacey, you can usually find her dragging her husband to visit The World’s Largest Spatula or something equally riveting.
Thank you so much for your support of the Strides for Shelter 5K. Since the inception of the Strides for Shelter 5K in 2016, the Canopy Housing Foundation has returned more than $65,000 from the race proceeds to several worthy local beneficiaries who are all working to address the needs of the homeless.
As the sponsoring organization, the Canopy Housing Foundation is the charitable arm of the Canopy Realtor® Association. The Foundation works to create a community where all housing needs are met through advocacy, education, funding and leadership.
We look forward to seeing you at McAlpine Park on October 24 as we continue to make Strides for Shelter by funding housing needs in our Charlotte community.
