Delivering Hope, Healing and Prevention, the mission of Hope Alliance is to empower victims of family and sexual violence to break all cycles of abuse with the help, generosity, and actions of donors, volunteers, and advocates. Providing hope for future generations through prevention, Hope Alliance is a leader in saving and transforming lives affected by family and sexual violence. Hope Alliance operates under the belief that physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological abuse of one human being by another is unacceptable. We believe that all abuse diminishes or prohibits the full expression of life and growth that is every person’s right.

The Heart of Round Rock Run, presented by the C.D. Fulkes PTA, is back for its second year! This community event is designed to bring together Round Rock ISD families, schools, and local businesses for a day of health, connection, and support for our students. This free walk/run will take place on Saturday, March 6, 2027, at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock. There is both a 5k and 1 mile option.

This district-wide event includes participants from 16 east side RRISD campuses, spanning elementary, middle, and high school levels. The course highlights the beautiful Old Settlers Park finishing with a fun family post-race party with a DJ, bounce house, family-friendly games, and food trucks!

The Heart of Round Rock Run is more than a race, it’s a chance to build community while supporting the Title 1 schools that need it most. All proceeds go directly toward essential student and teacher resources, including classroom supplies, staff mini-grants, enrichment programs and clubs, and a student snack room ensuring no child goes hungry at school.

Whether you’re joining us to run, walk, volunteer, cheer, or sponsor, you are helping support a Round Rock tradition that celebrates wellness, connection, and educational equity.

We can’t wait to see you at the start line!
