Join us for the 8th Race for Refugees!
Since 2017, the Race for Refugees community has come together to celebrate refugee and immigrant neighbors while raising critical funds that support first-touch services through the International Institute of St. Louis. All the funds we raise go to support the work of the International Institute of St. Louis.
About the International Institute
Established in 1919, the Institute has resettled refugees from Ukraine, Vietnam, Bosnia, Sudan, Congo, and many other countries. These individuals have gone on to become key pillars of our community, starting businesses, revitalizing neighborhoods, and enriching our city with their unique traditions and cultures.
How the Institute Helps
The International Institute supports new arrivals by offering holistic services like:
-
Education
-
Job Placement
-
Economic development
-
Cultural Orientation
-
Housing
Whether you're running or walking (in person or virtually), join us in celebrating the rich multiculturalism that our new neighbors bring to our community. Be a part of our family-friendly event (bring those dogs & strollers!) and help create a more welcoming community for ALL!
