Run and Walk for Birth
Help Us Raise $10,000 to Build a New Birth Center in Brooklyn
About the Race
The second annual Haven Midwifery 5K Run/Walk isn’t just about crossing the finish line, it’s about building one. We’re on a mission to raise $10,000 toward opening a birth center right here in Brooklyn, NY, and we need your help to get there.
Impact of a New Birth Center
- More Options: A new birth center means more options for women and families.
- More Safety: It provides safer choices when giving birth.
- More Dignity: Women and families will experience dignity in care.
- Compassionate Care: Access to high-quality midwifery care without barriers.
Event Significance
The 5K takes place during Birth Center Week, bringing together runners, walkers, families, and community members who believe every woman should have access to respectful, informed, and safe maternity care regardless of income level.
Why It Matters
Brooklyn is home to countless women and families who want birth options outside of a hospital setting, yet choices remain limited. Haven Midwifery, a non-profit organization, is committed to changing that. Every step you take in this 5K directly supports their capital campaign to open the doors of Brooklyn’s next birth center.
