Fill out our Run United 2020 registration form to be officially added to our team. We’ll send you updates on team events, fundraising tips and race weekend information.
To mobilize the caring power of Detroit and Southeastern Michigan to improve communities and individual lives in measurable and lasting ways.
Our vision:
Southeastern Michigan is united in building a community of stable households and thriving children.
Our Run United team focuses on supporting United Way’s work to ensure children have access to nutritious meals during the school year and summer break. We do this by raising awareness for and supporting federal nutrition programs that provide free meals to kids, and by advocating for policies that support these programs. We also work directly with parents and caregivers to improve their mealtime practices with the children in their care.
After you’ve registered for your race, you’re ready to start fundraising!
Fundraising for 2020 will open in late March. Check back here, or sign up for our team and we’ll send you an update when fundraising is open.
