The foundation’s goal is to spread a message of education and awareness about the decisions we all make and how they affect others. By sharing Keri’s story with middle school, high school, and college students as well as community groups and local law enforcement agencies, we hope to create a positive change in the world and give back to the community in the same ways Keri had imagined doing herself.

“Due to the ever-evolving the situation surrounding COVID-19, we have made the decision to postpone our Annual 5K to Launch Awareness. We were notified earlier this week that all Brevard County Parks will be closed until April 30th, including Sandpoint Park where our event is being held. Though the 5K is originally scheduled for May 2nd, we feel that it is too short of a window to gauge whether or not we can successfully and safely host this event. 

The health and safety of our families, our board members, our partners/sponsors, and our supporters are our number 1 priority. While we are disappointed in this outcome, we feel this is the best step in order to ensure our event will be the best and safest it can possibly be. At this time we will be closely monitoring the situation and will provide a rescheduled race day once we receive more information from our partners in Brevard County. 

We will be pausing registration for this event on our website and all social media channels. If you have already registered for the 5K, we will have more information regarding refunds soon. 

Please continue to check in with us on our social media channels and our website for the most up-to-date information. 

As always, thank you all for your support. Be safe, stay healthy, take care of one another, and remember- we are all in this together. “
