Our Events
Health & Wellness Initiatives
Promoting a healthy lifestyle is a cornerstone of our efforts. In recognition of Heart Awareness Month in February, Action in Kindness hosts our annual Heart Awareness 5k Run/Walk fundraiser in March. This event is one of our primary fundraising initiatives, and it raises awareness about the importance of incorporating at least 30 minutes of exercise, 5 days a week, into daily routines for better heart health.
Diaper Bank
Understanding the essential needs of families with young children, Action in Kindness hosts our annual Diaper Bank 5k in August. This event is another of our primary fundraising initiatives, crucial for raising funds and gathering materials for donations to local outreach programs. When available, we provide diapers, wipes, and other essential items to individuals and families in need for their babies.
Sponsors
Our 5k fundraising events are made possible by business support in middle Georgia. These organizations support our values and community.
