Two sisters with one vision. Our intention for the Peace of Mind 5k run/walk is to spread awareness and raise funds to support programs that help individuals overcome everyday challenges. We believe, when one mind is peaceful and free, we all thrive as a community. Entrepreneurs and philanthropists can develop, inspire and thrive! When we don’t have the tools to foster a healthy mindset through difficult obstacles and challenges ; social, emotional and mental challenges can develop and negatively impact our daily lives. The onset of anxiety, stress and depression can occur and be debilitating. There are forty million individuals in the US diagnosed with anxiety.
The Peace of Mind Run/Walk is addressing these concerns in two different ways, by supporting a Community Center called "Chicanos Por La Casa" and by raising funds for scholarship opportunities for adults whose challenges have resulted in debilitating behaviors.
Shining light, awareness and promoting comfortability around these topics by focusing on Preventive Care and Treatment is our focus with the following community charity and our Peace of Mind scholarship fund:
1. Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) Community Center - CPLC is a multigenerational community hub in the Carl Hayden neighborhood in Phoenix. A neighborhood landmark with its iconic mural, CPLC provides critical safety-net resources to surrounding families an a safe space for all. As a part of the Family Empowerment of Programs, the learning center provides youth and adult programs that are FREE or low cost. Visit http://www.cplc.org to learn more.
2. A scholarship fund will provide funding for qualified individuals who require financial assistance to access a variety of effective mental health services.
Two sisters aim to unite hearts and communities, one "peaceful mind" at a time! Join us with this vision!
