More than $54,000 was raised to support mentoring and leadership programs for youth in the local area at the 12th annual Race for D.C. Kids, sponsored by DRT Strategies of Arlington on behalf of the Youth Leadership Foundation.
The in-person race was held Sept. 14, with others joining virtually.
“This year’s race demonstrated that the future of youth mentoring in the nation’s capital is extremely bright,” said Youth Leadership Foundation executive director Janaiha Bennett. “We are thankful to those who showed up to support our mission of building character and a brighter future for young leaders.”
The foundation provides quality one-on-one, value-based mentoring programs for students ages 7 to 17 across the metro area. Serving more than 350 youth each year, it facilitates empowerment through joy, excellence and a spirit of service while building character, emphasizing personal growth and creating transformative mentorship experiences.
