Why This Matters
The Earth Day 5K, hosted by Green Built Alliance, is part fundraiser for our nonprofit and part awareness campaign for reducing our community’s carbon footprint. Funds raised will support Green Built Alliance’s programs that promote sustainability, impact environmental justice, and serve our community. The race aims to create a positive footprint, providing educational opportunities for supporting and engaging our community’s commitment to 100% Renewable Energy by 2042.
The nonprofit Green Built Alliance is the event producer with previous consulting from iDaph Events. Green Built Alliance has years of experience hosting fundraisers and other events and are thrilled to continue the Earth Day 5K as their main annual fundraiser.
