Haven 5K

Run and Walk for Birth: Help Us Raise $10,000 to Build a New Birth Center in Brooklyn

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.

Why a New Birth Center?

• More options: A new birth center means more choices for women and families.
• Increased safety: Access to compassionate, personalized, high-quality midwifery care.
• Community support: A safe, welcoming space for women to give birth in comfort.
• Dignity and respect: Birth experiences that honor the needs of families.

Importance of the Event

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. 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.
