Description

It is with great excitement that we invite you to donate and support our Inaugural Never Walk Alone 5k Walk/Run + Kids Dash!

Why are we hosting this event?! We've all heard the saying about walking a mile in someone else's shoes before judging them. Before we judge someone else, we need to
understand everyone has a personal journey that is often traveled alone. Even if we walk a mile in someone else's shoes, you will never really know their true story, journey, or what it's like to be them. We must try to understand, accept, and foster a relationship with each other. Love them for being them, their true authentic selves.

By doing this, you are showing another that they never have to walk alone. That there is support and love along their journey and often times in their darkest hours.
Let's walk together in solidarity to raise awareness, critical funds, and shed light on the stigma surrounding mental illness.  Help reach our fundraising goal of $60,000+, and show everyone they will Never Walk Alone.

Our Mission

PrairieCare Fund's mission is to support mental health initiatives in education through grants & advocacy. Since 2016, PrairieCare Fund awarded over $1,300,000 in grant funding to 70+ Minnesota school districts & non-profits! These funds are used to provide youth & staff general mental health education, increase awareness & responsiveness, prevent suicides, to create calm spaces and much more. This year, $200,000 will impact thousands of youth, staff, educators, families and community members throughout the state of Minnesota in schools and non-profit organizations.

Your Support
We ask you to make an impact on mental health by sponsoring and/or donating at the Inaugural Never Walk Alone 5k Walk/Run + Kids Dash! Mental illness touches ALL of us. We need your help to provide mental health education, prevent suicides, and reduce stigmas in schools across the state.
