From the Organizer
NICE Presents: Our 2nd Annual Race for Refugees!
Join us at Shelby Park in East Nashville for a morning of movement outdoors. Proceeds will support the Nashville International Center for Empowerment and will help us to sustain our work providing resources and programming for refugees and immigrants in Nashville.
NICE is a 501(c)3 nonprofit in South Nashville founded in 2005, providing services in refugee resettlement, adult and youth education, health navigation and education, employment assistance, and other social services to our newest neighbors in Middle Tennessee. Our mission is to empower refugees and immigrants so they can thrive for generations to come — helping them reach stability, safety, and self-sufficiency in their new home.
