One Collective Community 5K Walk : Building a Path to Transformation

In a world that too often feels disconnected and divided, we have the power to unite. Join us for the One Collective Community 5K: Building a Path to Transformation, a transformative event happening simultaneously in Elgin, IL and Fresno, CA (you are currently on the Elgin page). This 5K walk will help raise critical funds to address some of the most pressing issues facing our communities: homelessness, youth engagement, human trafficking, and the need for greater unity and equity. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected future.

During our Needs Assessments, many in Elgin shared their concerns about the growing isolation, division, and lack of unity within the city. Words like “disconnected,” “isolated,” and “divisive” were common descriptors — but they also represent an urgent call to action. We have a choice: we can continue to accept these challenges, or we can come together and create change. The One Collective Community 5K is our opportunity to take that first step toward a future where no one is left behind.

How You Can Get Involved:
Become a Sponsor: Support local initiatives that are tackling homelessness, human trafficking, and youth engagement, while promoting equity and unity. Your sponsorship will help us make a lasting impact in the Elgin, Chicago, and Joliet areas.
Be a Team Captain: Gather your friends, family, or coworkers to form a team. As a Team Captain, you’ll lead the charge, motivating others to raise funds and awareness while building a sense of collective purpose in your community.
Walk with Us: Whether you’re participating in Elgin or Fresno, every step you take helps build a path toward transformation. Your participation is not just about completing a 5K; it’s about walking together to create a unified community.
Why It Matters:
Elgin and Chicago are both made up of vibrant communities, but they’ve also faced the challenges of isolation and division. The One Collective Community 5K is about more than just raising funds — it’s about building relationships, fostering unity, and taking action to address real issues. Every dollar raised, every team formed, and every person who joins the walk moves us closer to a future that is more connected, compassionate, and equitable for all.

We have the power to transform our communities — and it starts with us.

Let’s come together on March 29th, 2025, to take the first step toward a better tomorrow. Together, we can create a path to transformation.

Let’s walk. Let’s unite. Let’s transform
