Join us for the 3rd annual Race for Humanity Solidarity 5K, a run dedicated to raising awareness and support for people facing humanitarian crises. This year, Students for Justice and Palestine are proud to partner with the Sudanese Student Association to expand our impact and bring communities together for a meaningful cause.

All proceeds from the race will be split 50/50 between two organizations working to provide critical humanitarian aid: HEAL Palestine and The Najwa Foundation.
