Standing with Sonya - "Canceling Cancer Fundraiser and 3K Walk/Run"

During Women’s Health Month, the Georgia Micro Enterprise Network (GMEN) invites you to be part of something bigger than a race — a movement of support, strength, and community. We are coming together to stand with our GMEN Executive Director, Sonya Toomer-Bates, as she continues her journey of healing. For decades, Sonya has helped entrepreneurs build, grow, and sustain their businesses across Georgia and beyond. Now, we stand beside her.

This is more than a 3K. It’s a moment to:

• Walk in purpose
• Run in strength
• Stand in community
• GMEN tent with resources, refreshments, and more

Whether you run, walk, or cheer — your presence matters.

Proceeds from this event will support the Standing With Sonya Fund, providing assistance for:

• Living expenses
• Medical-related needs
• Caregiving support
• Recovery resources

This effort ensures that Sonya can focus fully on healing — just as she has helped so many focus on building their futures.
