Julia's Run
The thirteenth annual Julia's Run takes place on Sunday, April 15 this year. Proceeds will benefit LEAP's Children's Program and Youth Development Program.
Julia's Run commemorates the late Julia Rusinek, Yale student and track star whose love of children inspired this annual race and fundraiser on behalf of LEAP. For 20 years, LEAP has been supplying disadvantaged children and youth with tools to empower them to break the cycle of poverty: academic and social enrichment activities and leadership opportunities not readily available in low-income neighborhoods, delivered through a network of consistent, wholesome mentoring relationships. LEAP children and youth will be participating
in the race, so your support will truly have an immediate impact on our kids!
