Charity Information

Race benefits the Sweet Julia Grace Foundation.

The Sweet Julia Grace Foundation’s Mission is to Bless, Celebrate, and Love children who are seriously ill, have special needs, or are currently facing a medical crisis.
SJGF grants wishes that brings joy and changes lives, fills in gaps other services are unable to fill, and provides support with day-to-day needs for families going through the unimaginable with their child.
The gifts SJGF provides to these courageous children bring comfort and happiness; and oftentimes dramatically improves and changes their lives.
The children blessed through SJGF are lovingly given the name RAINDANCERS because despite the storms they face every day, they have learned to “Dance in the Rain.”
Learn more, get involved or refer a Raindancer at www.sweetjuliagrace.org.
