About the Pat Tillman Foundation
The Pat Tillman Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit located in Chicago, and since 2009 has invested over $40 million into the academic and leadership development of nearly 1,000 Tillman Scholars - Military Veterans, Service Members, and spouses who are making an impact across the country. These scholars make an impact through action in the fields of healthcare, business, public service, STEM, education and humanities. Pat's Story from the NFL to the Army is well known, but it's the principles he lived by that form the heart of our mission today.
Get ready to move with purpose at the Hope in Motion 5K + Block Party on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in Tempe! This family-friendly, inclusive event brings the community together to support UMOM New Day Centers and its mission to end homelessness by restoring hope and rebuilding lives.
Participants can choose a chip-timed 5K run or a relaxed 1K fun run/walk, making it perfect for runners, walkers, families, and all fitness levels. Every step helps provide shelter, housing, and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
After crossing the finish line, stick around for the block party, featuring games and inflatables, food and drinks from Helpings Café, face painting, photo ops, and fun for all ages. Whether you join as an individual or a team, you’ll be part of a powerful movement creating real change.
Run, walk, celebrate — and put hope in motion.
