5K For Foster Kids Run/Walk

Race Overview

The Philip S. Killoran Chapter of the National Honor Society at Sterling Heights High School is partnering with Friends of Foster Kids (FoFK) to host a 5K Race Walk / Run.

Our vision is to build community through an outdoor event emphasizing fitness and fun while creating awareness and raising funds for foster kids. It is a fun event boasting a door prize drawing, a live DJ, a food truck, yard games, a spring craft, face painting, and a surprise celebrity announcer. Come meet Friends of Foster Kids, Impact One, and the Macomb DHHS workers. Learn more about foster kids in our area and programs to support them as well as families that host them.
