🤝 About Us

Founded in 2003, Safe Families for Children is fueled by radical hospitality, disruptive generosity, and intentional compassion. Oftentimes, children are on the edge of entering foster care, and susceptible to neglect or abuse. Safe Families steps in and provides families and children with a circle of support in various ways!

• Mission: Our goals are to prevent child neglect, reduce the number of children entering the child welfare system, and support families in their time of need.
• History: Lydia Home Association has been serving children and providing HOPE, HEALING, and HOME to children in Chicago since 1916 through various programs.

TOGETHER we can create meaningful and supportive relationships that strengthen our Families & Community! The event will take place again at Busse Woods: our specific grove directions will be sent out to every registrant!

🏆 Awards

• 5K Awards: Awards will be given for those participating in the timed, 5K-portion of the race for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place by age group.
• Virtual Awards: Two unique virtual participant awards will also be presented, detailed in the virtual section.
