Friendship Circle of Houston's 14th Annual Houston Friendship 5K and 1 Mile Fun Walk

Friendship Circle of Houston's 14th Annual Houston Friendship 5K and 1 Mile Fun Walk

 

The Friendship Circle of Houston is gearing up for its 14th Annual Houston Friendship Walk, with a 5K and 1 Mile Fun Walk on Sunday, January 22, beginning at 12:30 p.m. at Godwin Park Hundreds of runners, walkers, and volunteers will participate in this annual event, raising awareness and advocacy for individuals with disabilities in our community. 

Founded in 2003, Friendship Circle of Houston’s mission is to build a community of volunteers, especially teenagers, to partner with kids with disabilities. They engage in weekly play-dates, and monthly group events that include bowling parties, bayou walks, dinners, tennis outings and more. Proceeds from this event will fund these year round activities. Not only do these frequent, on-going activities bring joy to those with disabilities, the time also provides a much needed respite for their parents and/or caretakers.

Each year, this event draws hundreds of runners, walkers, and volunteers. Over 600 people participated in the 2022 Friendship Walk and post walk activities, with even more anticipated for this year's event.
