Every night in Minnesota it is estimated that 6,000 young people have nowhere to call home. They are sleeping in their cars, some are couch-hopping, and too many are struggling to survive on the streets. HOPE 4 Youth aims to ensure all youth feel safe, valued, and supported while reaching their full potential. This begins with meeting their basic needs and leads to providing the necessary resources to find and keep stable housing. 

Join us at The Darkest Night 4K on Friday, October 4th for a walk and run to support our mission! Invite your friends, family, and coworkers to be a part of our 9th Annual 4K fundraising event. Your participation will help us to raise awareness of youth homelessness and raise funds so they never have to experience it again. You can support this event by participating, fundraising, and sponsoring! Stay tuned for more details! 

WHAT: Run or Walk (non-timed)

WHEN: Friday, October 4th, 2024 from 5:30 - 8:30 pm

WHERE: Bunker Hills Golf Club, 12800 Bunker Prairie Road NW, Coon Rapids, MN
