Help us raise money

Welcome to the JCYC College Access Department Page!

JCYC’s 12th Annual SF Aloha Run will be both in-person and virtual! The in-person 5K or 10K run/walk is on Sunday, September 25th at Crissy Field in San Francisco, and the virtual side runs from Sunday, September 25th through Sunday, October 2nd.

Titled, SF Aloha Run for Peace, this year's run is focused on bringing our communities together to stand in peace against war, hate, and racism. This is a unique opportunity for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to be a part of an uplifting and healthy activity which supports groups that are celebrating peace and addressing critical equity and social justice issues.

We hope to contribute to a global movement for peace, equity, and unity by engaging runners and walkers across the country in lifting up messages of peace, inclusion, and hope for communities who are impacted by the war on Ukraine or targeted and marginalized in America. The 2022 SF Aloha Run for Peace is a platform for all of us to educate and lead by example through individual acts of kindness and compassion. All participants will also receive a distinctive race technical t-shirt and medal.

2022 SF Aloha Run for Peace proceeds will be used to support services for:

**Families who have been impacted (e.g. displaced, economic hardship as a result of inflation, and beyond) by the war.

**Individuals who are victims of hate crimes, as a result of bias against race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

Proceeds will also be used to provide scholarships for low-income, first generation college students through the JCYC Scholarship Programs.
