5K Run/Walk to Honor Our Missing

Join Us to Make a Difference: Every Step Brings Hope

Your participation in the Hope Without Boundaries 5K (HWB5K) does more than bring us together—it fuels our mission to shine a light on missing people of color, provide families with vital resources & tools, and educate our community on personal safety. With your help, we’ve successfully closed over 500 cases by reuniting families or providing much-needed answers. But our work is far from done.

Proceeds from the event will go towards: funding for families of the missing, flyer distribution, financial support, victim recovery, burial service assistance, and offering the hope families desperately need during their most trying times. Every step you take supports a family searching for their loved one, and every dollar raised amplifies our ability to collectively make a difference.
