KARHU, Finland's favorite running brand, invites you to join us in our efforts to outfit 500 local students from your community with the proper footwear needed to participate in the sport of running. At KARHU, we believe that everyone regardless of circumstance has the right to the best fitting shoes for performance and everyday comfort. The right pair of running shoes can be life-changing and pave the way toward building healthy, active routines.

This unique opportunity to partner with KARHU strives to make a monumental difference in the lives of young people from your community. With your help, KARHU will provide premium running footwear and a unique run specialty experience to the students of KIPP Academy in Lynn, MA. In conjunction with our efforts, we will be hosting a celebratory event at KIPP Academy in Lynn on August 10th at 6pm. We sincerely hope that you will consider joining us and give the gift of running!

KIPP Academy Lynn Collegiate is a charter high school in Lynn, which is part of the KIPP MA public charter school network. KIPP MA has schools in Boston and Lynn, and their Lynn district serves over 1,600 students across two campuses, grades 9-12 on Wheeler St and K-8 on High Rock St. KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) Public Schools is a network of 280 public charter schools that prepares students with the skills and confidence to create the future they want for themselves, their communities, and us all.

KARHU believes that running and the healthy choices that support it are a key part of this confidence building process. Our goal is to raise $10,000, all proceeds raised through this event will be used to purchase shoes for every high school student and any additional funds will be donated directly to KIPP’s philanthropic goals to support their work that goes above and beyond a normal K-12 education.
