Who are we?

Founded in 2003, Safe Families for Children is fueled by radical hospitality, disruptive generosity, and intentional compassion. Oftentimes, children are on the edge of entering foster care, and susceptible to neglect or abuse. Safe Families steps in and provides families and children with a circle of support in various ways! Our goals are to prevent child neglect, reduce the number of children entering the child welfare system, and support families in their time of need.

TOGETHER we can create meaningful and supportive relationships that strengthen our Families & Community!

The event will take place again at Hart Park in Wauwatosa, our specific directions will be sent out to every registrant!

🥇 Awards will be given for those participating in the timed, 5K-portion of the race for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place by age group, detailed below in the age group awards section!

🥇 We will also have awards for those who "go the extra mile" to help us make an impact! We will also award the: Top 3 Individual Fundraisers, Top Fundraising Team and Team with Most Members!
