Sponsorship
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:
- 2019: The Relatives to purchase a much-needed van to transport approximately 300 children on an annual basis to necessary appointments (medical, school, legal, etc.) - $25,000
- 2018: Men's Shelter of Charlotte to assist with the renovation costs at their Tryon Street shelter - $20,000
- 2017: A Child's Place to assist in addressing the needs of children experiencing homelessness in Charlotte (at a cost of $1,000 per year per child) - $15,000
- 2016: Urban Ministry and Housing First Charlotte to assist in building an apartment complex for people experiencing homelessness in Charlotte - $5,000
After being unable to run the race in 2020 due to the pandemic, we are thrilled to be able to assist our 2020 beneficiary in this year's race. Proceeds from the 2021 Strides for Shelter 5K Run / Walk will benefit Hope House Foundation. The Hope House Foundation 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 garage area to create a play/learning space that cultivates resilience in children experiencing family homelessness.
The Canopy Housing Foundation is the charitable, non-profit arm of the Canopy Realtor® Association. The Foundation strives to promote affordable homeownership, provide funding to create housing opportunities, and encourage volunteerism and philanthropic activities among its 12,000+ Realtor® members.
