Impact Night
Running for something bigger.
The Expo is also an Impact Fundraiser supporting the Kairos Public Schools track project through GivJoi, Village Run’s nonprofit impact partner.
Raffle ticket sales help raise funds for the Kairos Public Schools track—expanding access to movement, mentorship, and opportunity for young people in our community. Winners will be called every 15 minutes throughout the night.
Because talent is everywhere. Access is not.
Village Run creates the gathering. GivJoi turns that gathering into access, opportunity, and lasting impact.
GivJoi™ Presents • The Track Project
Help build spaces that open the way.
GivJoi and Kairos Public Schools are launching the Village Run Event Series to support a track at Kairos—a real place where young runners can train, belong, and grow.
This is more than a build. It is access where it is needed most. A track is not just a place to run. It is structure. It is belonging. It is opportunity that lasts.
Talent is everywhere. Access to space is not.
Train consistentlyFeel safe and supportedBuild rhythm and confidenceBelong to something bigger

This is a place to gather, connect, discover what is happening locally, and remember that the Village is built by people who choose to show up.
