About the Breaking Barriers 5k Fundraiser
This is a fundraiser run supporting a Charlotte nonprofit that works to eliminate housing instability and resource barriers for people in need. The organization runs programs focused on homelessness, community support, and youth resilience, and the race is a way to bring the broader community into that work.
