Thank you for Hus­tling with KYC

We could­n’t be more grate­ful for our event par­tic­i­pants, fundrais­ers, donors, spon­sors, vol­un­teers, staff, and sup­port­ers who came togeth­er in the name of com­mu­ni­ty health. Whether you walked, ran, or cheered us on, we’re thank­ful for you.

This was a record-break­ing year for event par­tic­i­pants with 363 peo­ple o-fish-ally reg­is­tered. It was amaz­ing to see so much sup­port for behav­ioral health, old­er adult, and com­mu­ni­ty health services.

Through your kind­ness, we raised a total of $89,207 for KYC’s life-chang­ing and life-sav­ing pro­grams! To every­one who sup­port­ed the Hus­tle for Health, thank you. Whether you fundraised or helped to spread the word about KYC and this event, thank you for help­ing us strive for our goal. We firm­ly believe in our vision, that Togeth­er We Thrive. With you, we are build­ing stronger, health­i­er com­mu­ni­ties. Thank you for help­ing our com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers thrive.

Thank You, Volunteers

We could­n’t hold this event with­out the incred­i­ble vol­un­teers who bring it to life. Thank you to our 5K Plan­ning Com­mit­tee, our Devel­op­ment Com­mit­tee, and our Board Mem­bers for the ded­i­ca­tion and car­ing that you share with KYC through this event. From select­ing a theme for the event to bring­ing us the many tasty treats we share with event goers, we could­n’t host such a wel­com­ing and joy­ful event with­out their efforts. 

We are also grate­ful to the many day-of vol­un­teers who kept this event run­ning smooth­ly. From set­up to cleanup and every­thing in between, our vol­un­teers tru­ly deserve a round of applause and have our great­est appre­ci­a­tion. Thank you!

Let’s Keep the Momen­tum Going!

The Hus­tle for Health is just once a year but our work con­tin­ues year-round to sup­port indi­vid­u­als in the com­mu­ni­ty while they nav­i­gate life’s chal­lenges. We can­not do this work with­out you. By cre­at­ing a month­ly recur­ring gift you help to bring nutri­tious meals to old­er adults; youth oppor­tu­ni­ties to take lead­er­ship through sub­stance use pre­ven­tion mes­sag­ing; 24-hour men­tal health cri­sis ser­vices so peo­ple expe­ri­enc­ing men­tal health cri­sis have some­where to call, some­one to respond, and some­where to go; and so much more.
