Modesto Spirit of Giving 5K Run/Walk
The Modesto Spirit of Giving 5K is a family-friendly community run and walk that raises funds for local charitable programs. The event benefits the City of Modesto Leisure Bucks program and the Modesto Gospel Mission. It is presented with support from municipal departments, local running clubs, and a range of community sponsors.
The City of Modesto Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods Department’s Leisure Bucks program provides financial assistance so low-income children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities can access recreational activities across the city. Since 2007 the program has lost public funding and now depends on private contributions and fundraising events such as this race.
The Modesto Gospel Mission provides shelter services, nutritious meals, hot showers, and beds, and distributes clothing. The organization also offers programs aimed at addressing physical, spiritual, emotional, social, educational, vocational, and financial factors related to homelessness. The mission receives no government funding and is not a United Way agency.
Organizing and promotional partners listed for recent editions include the City of Modesto departments, ShadowChase Running Club, and multiple local businesses and sponsors. The event is described by the organizer as both a run and a walk and is connected to annual fundraising and community engagement efforts.
