Peachy,
Last year on February 23rd, Ahmaud Arbery was murdered while running. His murder shocked our running community. The 2:23 Foundation, founded by Ahmaud's cousin and his high school football coach, is hosting a virtual run, called, Finish the Run, to honor Ahmaud and launch a capital campaign to raise $223,000 over the next year for scholarships that will empower young people. Every dollar donated goes to the work of the 2:23 Foundation. Their mission is to engage, equip, and empower young Black and Brown men and women for future justice work.
Please join us in this run and in supporting these scholarships. If you'd like to join our team, simply select Big Peach Running Co. from the team list.
Last year, many of us ran 2.23 miles to honor Ahmaud. This year, we have the opportunity to both honor him and equip young people to become public servants.
Individuals can sign up to run, walk, or bike 2.23 miles. The entry fee is $23 per person, and all proceeds will go directly to a scholarship fund that gives young men and women the opportunity to become local leaders, policy-makers, lawyers, and social engineers.
This is the last week to save! Stop by your nearest Big Peach Running Co. and take advantage of the savings while it's still cold outside!
February 22 - 28: 40% Off
