Last year’s race of more than 1,000 participants raised more than $16,000 for the community. More than 1,500 participants are expected for this year’s race. A post-event Family Festival sponsored by Karl Strauss is also planned. Learn more and register atwww.thankyourun.org.

On August 9, 2022, we awarded $838,704 in Opening the Outdoors grants to 24 nonprofit organizations that offer equitable access to outdoor spaces in San Diego County.
“San Diego Foundation is proud to once again support its partners committed to increasing community-driven efforts to enhance accessible outdoor space, encourage youth to learn more through hands-on education and create the next generation of environmental stewards in the San Diego region,” said Christiana DeBenedict, SDF Director of Environment Initiatives.
This year’s grantees will help address these inequities and enhance access to the outdoors throughout San Diego County.
