  TREAD Academy is hosting its 4th Annual 5K Run/Walk.

  Reading is the foundation of education, opportunity, and lifelong success—but many students in Georgia are struggling to reach that foundation.

  Recent reports show that approximately 62% of Georgia’s third graders are not reading proficiently, a critical milestone that strongly predicts future academic success. Students who are not reading on grade level by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school, making early literacy one of the most important issues facing our communities today.

  Literacy challenges don’t stop in childhood. Nearly 1 million adults in Georgia have low literacy skills, which affects employment opportunities, economic mobility, and even the ability to support the next generation of learners.

  The Run for Reading 5K was created to help change that trajectory.

  Each year, our community comes together to raise awareness and support literacy initiatives that put books in children’s hands, strengthen reading programs, and encourage a culture of learning. By running or walking in this event, participants are helping promote a simple but powerful idea:

  Every child deserves the opportunity to read, learn, and succeed.

  Together, we can take steps—literally and figuratively—toward building stronger readers and brighter futures.

  After the race, stay and enjoy our Annual Spring Festival. All race participants will receive free entry to the festival.

  Join the fight against diabetes and make a real difference in Georgia!

  The Diabetes You Can Win Foundation, a proud Georgia-based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, invites you to our 7th Annual 5K Walk for Diabetes, presented in collaboration with our valued partner, Live Healthy Gwinnett! This family-friendly event, taking place at Tribble Mill Park in Lawrenceville, GA, promises a day filled with educational resources, free health screenings, and plenty of fun for all ages.

  Why is this walk so important? The statistics are stark: Approximately 1 million people in Georgia have been diagnosed with diabetes, and a staggering 230,000 more are living with it undiagnosed, significantly increasing their health risks. An additional 2.6 million Georgians have pre-diabetes, a condition that can often be prevented from progressing to diabetes with proper lifestyle changes. These numbers highlight a critical need for awareness, education, and access to resources right here in our communities.

  Your participation directly supports the vital work of the Diabetes You Can Win Foundation. We provide free health screenings, comprehensive diabetes and nutrition education classes, diabetes prevention programs, gestational diabetes education, and essential diabetic supplies to at-risk and under-resourced communities across Georgia. Every step you take and every dollar raised stays right here in Georgia, empowering our neighbors with the tools and knowledge to lead healthier lives.

  Come together with your family and friends to walk for a cause that touches so many lives. Learn more, get screened, and have a fantastic day while making a tangible impact on the health of our state.

  Lace up your shoes and register today for the 7th Annual 5K Walk for Diabetes!
