The Queen City 5K helps provide support for kids here in the Greater Cincinnati Area. Last year marked our 10th 5K fundraiser race, which is the beginning of another financial stream to better our kids for the future and to be the educational bridge for their futures. We are excited to bring this race to our weekend!Our sponsors, partners, walkers and runners will continue to help provide programs, resources and scholarships for our grade school kids up to our seniors on their way to college.

Benefit: Raising money for the foundation in order to give assistance, aide, scholarships and programming for our Queen City Foundation kids.
