Description:
The Hohler Memorial Bi-Continental 5K Fun Run/Walk was created to benefit the children of Hope Children’s Fund (HCF).
Established in 2005, HCF is a New York State licensed 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to assisting orphaned children in Meru, Kenya. Through comprehensive support, these children receive essential resources including food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and educational opportunities.
HCF is unique in its operational model. The organization has no paid staff or offices in the United States and relies entirely on the dedication of passionate volunteers. This structure ensures that 100% of every donation goes directly to benefit the children. In Meru, a team of twelve dedicated Kenyan employees manages the orphanage, which is currently home to 92 children. These children receive immediate care and the opportunity to pursue their educational dreams, with many continuing on to complete college.
By registering for or donating to our 5K event, you directly contribute to the wellbeing and future of these children. Your support helps provide the essential resources and opportunities they need to thrive. We invite you to join us in making a difference and helping create a brighter future for the children of Meru.
