The 50th in-person running of the Highland Yard is an annual charity run hosted by Rotaract Haliburton Highlands, a community-based service club for people 18 years of age and older in the Haliburton Highlands. The run benefits Places for People, which provides safe, affordable, and supportive housing for families and individuals at risk of homelessness in our community.
100% of the money raised at the Highland Yard goes toward supporting the community of Haliburton Highlands. 90% of funds help Places for People in lowering mortgage and maintenance costs and purchasing additional properties to continue to serve the community. The remaining 10% of funds go toward community initiatives led by Rotaract Haliburton Highlands, such as their Helping Hampers basic needs packages.
After three years of holding the run virtually, we are so excited to be back in person! Last year, with the help of runners like you, we raised more than $20,000. Help us surpass this target by raising pledges and donations for your run and together we can Hit a Grand Slam Home Run for Housing in Haliburton County!
