The iconic NYC event, now in its eighth year, takes place at the gorgeous Prospect Park in Brooklyn and is your chance to provide critical psychosocial support to the millions impacted by the 2023 assaults on Gaza.
If you haven't done a Gaza 5K before, expect to gather community draw strength from each other, and do everything we can for refugees in Gaza. This event includes a 5K walk/run, breakfast, coffee, fundraising prizes, and as much Palestinian culture as we can squeeze into your morning.
The Gaza 5K is your chance to meet and connect with folks who share your solidarity and commitment to the mental wellbeing of refugees. Learn more about Gaza 5K history at gaza5k.org.
Not in NYC or prefer to participate from home? You may also choose the virtual option.
What’s the goal of this year’s Gaza 5K?
We aim to raise $1,000,000 by March 5 to directly employ UNRWA counselors in Gaza. These counselors will provide refugee students with individual and group counseling sessions. The more you raise, the more we can do!
Fundraising is the key to our efforts and impact. Check out these fundraising perks to encourage you to be at the top of your fundraising game.
What does my Gaza 5K fundraising do?
Your fundraising can enable UNRWA to employ mental health counselors recruited locally from the Palestine refugee population. UNRWA counselors provide psychosocial support to address the mental health needs of refugee children and families in Gaza. The people of Gaza are suffering from acute trauma due to unprecedented and intense Israeli military assaults on their families and homes. Counseling offers kids in Gaza a safe space to express their emotions, grief, and fears and a way to learn critical coping skills.
