The Caring For Kids Run & Walk is a 5k &10k race event and Kids Fun Run, organized by xHope Missions, an Elk Grove based non-profit. xHope’s specific focus is to shine a light on community groups that focus on “at-risk” youth, foster care and adoptive services within Elk Grove and the Greater Sacramento region. Our event is designed to raise monies and awareness for xHope and our network of partner organizations that provide needed resources, programs and support for children throughout our community and abroad.
