STRIDES FOR SHELTER
5K RUN + WALK
MCALPINE CREEK PARK
Charlotte, NC
OCTOBER 18, 2025
Strides for Shelter is presented by the
CANOPY HOUSING FOUNDATION
Our 2025 race beneficiary is Project Outpour, a local non-profit that provides opportunities to shower our homeless neighbors with support and dignity. Project Outpour made a bold move, with the support of the Canopy Realtors®, to purchase a new truck to keep their mobile shower services rolling without interruption. |  |
Proceeds from the 2025 Strides for Shelter event will ensure that this organization can transport their mobile shower unit to five area locations providing critical hygiene services annually to 3,500 individuals and families. We didn't wait to act - because our neighbors couldn't wait to shower.
Throughout the eight year history of Strides for Shelter, the Canopy Housing Foundation has donated over $212,000 to eight different beneficiary organizations.
Thank you for your support of the Strides for Shelter 5K.
Since the inception of the Strides for Shelter 5K in 2016, the Canopy Housing Foundation has returned more than $208,000 from the race proceeds to several worthy local beneficiaries who are all working to address the needs of the homeless.
As the sponsoring organization, the Canopy Housing Foundation is the charitable arm of the Canopy Realtor® Association. The Foundation works to create a community where all housing needs are met through advocacy, education, funding and leadership.
