Award Summary:

Funds are being used to expand the Kids Run Club program in Region 6, strengthening youth prevention efforts for at-risk children ages 8 to 13. This investment supports a structured, evidence-informed after-school program delivered through partnerships with schools and community organizations, using physical activity as a vehicle to build protective factors. By connecting youth with supportive mentors, positive peer networks, and consistent programming, the initiative reduces risk factors associated with substance misuse while building resilience, confidence, and healthy decision-making skills.
