The Blueprint for Success 5k was created to bring our community together while raising funds to provide scholarships for deserving students pursuing careers in nursing, healthcare, skilled trades, and law enforcement. Your support helps remove financial barriers and gives students the opportunity to build successful careers and stronger futures. This 5k benefits two non-profit organizations: BeauTifful Community Wellness Inc. and Illinois Association of Black Law Enforcement (ABLE). Together we have a goal to offer at least 10 - $1000 scholarships for January 2027.
