The GR5K partners with Hope Family Orphanage in Nepal, Iglesias del Norte in Costa Rica, Hatikva Project in Israel, and the Passion Center for Children in Malawi. 100% of the proceeds go to these organizations that minister both physically and spiritually to children with great need. Join us at Shawnee Mission Park and take part in bringing true hope, love and physical help to orphaned and refugee children across the world. We hope to see you there!
