Every year since 2013, EPIC supporters like you have joined our team to rally support for Iraqi children.
This year, we need your help to build our largest team EVER!
SATURDAY, Sept. 28
Iraqi Children Foundation‘s
12th Annual “In Their Shoes” Global 5K
@ Rock Creek Park in Washington DC
Supporting Iraq’s children has been central to EPIC’s mission since day one. Back in August 2000, when we rallied the nation to highlight Iraq’s humanitarian crisis, our message was clear: Start Seeing Iraqi Children. With millions of children still enduring poverty and the aftershocks of decades of war, that call remains urgent today.
That’s why this 5K has become a cherished EPIC tradition—and why we’re inviting you to be a part of it. The Iraqi Children Foundation trains and supports social workers, lawyers, teachers, and health care workers through Hope Buses, the Baghdad Street Lawyers, the Mosul Girls Center, and other innovative programs delivering hope to Iraq’s most vulnerable children.
This year, our goal is to form the biggest “Team EPIC” yet! Whether you can join us in DC or prefer to participate virtually from anywhere in the world, we’d love to have you on board.
Let’s show our support by rallying for our valued partners and the vital work they’re doing for children in need.
