Join us for the Annual Fostering Hope 5K & Kid's Dash on Saturday, August 29, 2026 at 8:30am at White Hall Park in Richmond/Madison County!
Raising Hope 5K will benefit Orphan Care Alliance (OCA). OCA is a ministry that operates throughout Kentucky and southern Indiana, mobilizing Christians to serve vulnerable children and families within the foster and adoptive community. OCA directly impacts youth with foster care and adoption history through their Life Coaching program. OCA Life Coaches are trained and then matched to mentor a youth in foster care: to be their friend and walk alongside them in life when they might not have anyone else. OCA supports children in foster care by meeting their physical, emotional, and therapeutic needs through the OCA Family Support, Life Coaching, and Family Preservation ministries
