Join us for the BeKind (with Brandon's House) 5k run or walk to support free counseling for teens and families! We want to raise $50,000 to support our expanding mental health counseling for teens in our community. Brandon's House is 100% supported by the same community we serve.
We run and walk in memory of Ella — a smart, beautiful, and athletic young lady whose wit, kindness, and vibrant spirit left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her. This 5K is part of the BeKind movement, born from Ella's life and legacy — reminding us that even the smallest act of kindness can have a powerful ripple effect. Join us in honoring Ella Reese Walker and helping kindness go the distance.
