RUN YOUR ICE OFF 5K
Saturday, January 11th 2025
Presented by: Equity Initiative, Inc.
Lace up and join us for the 2nd annual Run Your Ice Off 5K, where every step you take supports a brighter future for Kansas youth! Proceeds benefit Equity Initiative, Inc., a youth development nonprofit offering free after-school programming for middle and high school students Monday through Thursday.
At Equity Initiative, Inc., we’re changing lives by equipping young people with the skills and resources they need to thrive. Our mission is simple: to break down barriers that prevent marginalized youth from reaching their full potential. Through life skills workshops, social-emotional learning, entrepreneurial exposure, media arts engagement, and free tutoring, we empower youth to build a strong foundation for their future.
Our home base, The Activity Lounge (1608 E. Waterman St. 67211), is a safe, welcoming space where teens can connect, learn, and grow every Monday through Thursday from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. Our commitment to equity is reflected in our name, as we work daily to ensure that each youth has the resources they uniquely need.
"Giving each youth the resources they uniquely need, because one way doesn't serve ALL."
Embrace the chill and make a difference this winter by joining us in the Run Your Ice Off 5K! Together, let’s pave the way for the next generation.
