Event Description:
Take Stock in Children Palm Beach has teamed up with Florida Crystals to host our 4th annual 5K Strides for Education Timed Run on April 18th at Florida Atlantic University to raise money to purchase 2-year college tuition scholarships for low income, at-risk youth! Last year our event attracted over 300 participants, raised over $100,000 and was showcased on CBS 12 News. Take Stock in Children is a statewide mentoring program with a 20 year history of increasing high school graduation and college enrollment rates in Florida. Through our evidence-based program model, Take Stock in Children combines a mentoring program, a college readiness program, and a scholarship program into one unit to effectively equip low income, at-risk students on a pathway to success. Over 98% of Take Stock in Children students graduate high school, remain crime & drug free and maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA. Dress up in awful 80s gear or your cheesy prom dress and stop to take goofy prom pics while walking, running, or dancing through a 5k! Don't want to run? Have Children? We've got you covered! Join us to enjoy our Kidz Zone with bounce houses, face painting, and ice cream! Don’t forget….$100 Cash Prize for Best Outfit.
Directions:
Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton Campus 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, FL 33431 (Enter the Campus on East University Drive (2nd Entrance to University). Follow the Take Stock in Children Directional Signs)
