Run for Justice

🎃 Race Overview

Get your costumes out and ready for one of Cleveland’s favorite fall events! The Halloween Run for Justice supports the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Foundation’s many “Lawyers Giving Back” pro bono legal services and public outreach initiatives. Programs such as The 3Rs that provide hands-on learning experiences, build empowering, personal connections through mentorship, and deliver law-related education to help Cleveland’s next generation succeed in high school, college, law school and beyond. And the Cleveland Legal Collaborative, an innovative new incubator program that teaches newer attorneys to provide high-quality, affordable legal services to those in need. Your support will provide real help for people caught in the justice gap – those who earn "too much money" to qualify for free legal aid, but not enough to afford a market-rate attorney. Following the run, we'll celebrate with family-friendly games, a live DJ, refreshments, crafts, face painting and more!
