Run for Hope / walk for change 5k
Dear Sponsors, Community Partners and Volunteers,
As the Founder and CEO of Hands of Hope America, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to each of you for making our first annual Run for Hope, Walk for Change 5K an incredible success.
Your generosity, support, and presence on race day reminded us that we are never alone in our mission. Whether you gave as a sponsor, stood with us as a community partner, or served with dedication as a volunteer—you helped bring this event to life and gave it meaning beyond the finish line.
Because of your involvement, we were able to raise awareness and critical funds that will directly support programs that provide food, mental health counseling, youth empowerment, and emergency services to families in the Four Corners region. Your impact is real, and your support is deeply valued.
This 5K was more than a race—it was a powerful symbol of what we can accomplish when we come together with a shared purpose: to bring hope, inspire change, and uplift our neighbors.
From all of us at Hands of Hope America, thank you for being part of this special day. We look forward to continuing the journey with you as we prepare for even greater impact ahead.
With deep appreciation,
Evelisse Bookhout
Founder & CEO
Hands of Hope America
