New York City, the UNRWA USA Gaza 5K is coming back!
On Sunday, October 11, we’re returning to Prospect Park in Brooklyn for the NYC Gaza 5K—our signature walk/run bringing thousands of people together in support of Palestine refugee children.
This year, our goal is to raise $500,000 to support UNRWA mental health counselors in Gaza, providing critical mental health and psychosocial support to children living through trauma, displacement, and loss.
Since 2012, UNRWA USA’s Gaza 5K has been about more than crossing a finish line. It’s a day to celebrate Palestinian culture, come together in community, and turn every step into meaningful action for children in Gaza.
Whether you walk, run, fundraise, cheer from the sidelines, or join virtually, there’s a place for you. And if you want to make an even bigger impact, start a fundraiser and invite your community to join you.
Prospect Park | Brooklyn, NY
Sunday, October 11
7:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.
