Run. Walk. Empower. Celebrate.

The Empower Her 5K is more than a race

It’s a celebration of Women of Color, community, and wellness. This event highlights the importance of health and wellness as a foundation for reaching one’s full potential. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your participation directly supports Chica Project’s mission to empower young women and girls.

Make a difference

The Chica Project Empower Her 5K supports our leadership development programs for young women of color, helping them gain the skills, confidence, and opportunities to thrive. Through these programs, we foster empowerment, personal growth, and a sense of belonging—creating a community where every participant feels valued and inspired.

Can’t join us in person? You can still make a difference by donating or starting a digital fundraiser, helping us continue to uplift and transform the lives of the young women we serve.
