Please join us on Saturday May 10, 2025 for the Legacy 5.14 5K Run! Our mission is to improve the lives of underserved communities, beginning with the City of Buffalo, NY, which was adversely affected on May 14, 2022, by hate inspired racist shooting at the Tops market in East Buffalo. By providing access to education and equality-based health care, we believe in creating a sustainable solution that will; empower individuals and communities to become self-sufficient and thrive. We strive to foster a culture of compassion, inclusivity, and social responsibility through our programs, collaborative partnerships, and advocacy efforts. Our goal is to positively impact the world by promoting equality, justice, and human dignity for all.
START/FINISH
