13th Annual Race for Hope 5K Sets New Record Raising Over $160,000
On Saturday, April 9th, the Grant a Gift Autism Foundation - Ackerman Center held its 13th Annual RACE FOR HOPE 5K in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District. With over 450 participants and 23 vendors providing valuable information to the community, the walk exceeded goals and set a new record, raising over $168,000.
“We are thrilled with the community response we received for this year’s family friendly fun walk,” said Brian Hager, President, Grant a Gift Autism Foundation – Ackerman Center. “The funds raised from today will help us continue our mission to help the children, young adults, and their families facing the challenges of autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions.”
Presenting sponsors for this year’s event were Subway and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation. Their support, combined with the proceeds from the Race For Hope 5K, will go far in helping the organization address what currently is a waiting list of over 5,000 deserving families in Southern Nevada.
