5th Annual Latinas Leading Tomorrow (LLT) Reach for the Stars 5K Run/Walk

Latinas Leading Tomorrow (LLT) is addressing the unique challenges and barriers faced by Latinas in their academic success and personal development. We recognize that schools often overlook the cultural, language, and socio-economic needs of Latino students, and we aim to bridge this gap through cultural responsiveness and mentorship.

Come out and enjoy our 5K in Washington DC at Hains Point Park. We invite you to support our upcoming 4th annual Reach for the Stars 5K Run/Walk, where funds raised will directly contribute to our efforts in empowering Latina students. We have an ambitious goal of $60,000 this year. We are confident that with the help of individuals, corporate sponsorships, and the community coming together, we can reach this goal!

Thank you for your support in addressing the unique challenges faced by Latina students and promoting their academic success and personal development.
