This Fourth of July, celebrate 250 years of freedom in the most colorful way possible! Join us for a family-friendly Color Run that honors our military, celebrates our nation, and brings the community together. Whether you run or walk, you’ll be laughing, smiling, and knowing your participation is making a difference-all while kicking off your Independence Day celebration!

Making Hope Visible through Video & Voice

The WORTH program consists of a video series produced at Arukah, which features local teens from the Illinois Valley, that are passionate about sharing messages of mental health. Videos use culturally-relevant and age-appropriate themes and elements to convey these messages in a way that teens can identify with. We address self-esteem, bullying, anxiety, depression, social media, self-harm, anger, failing and overcoming, and so much more! We serve over 8,000 teens with our videos in Jr/Sr. High Schools every week!

Why We Are Raising Funds

We are building a dedicated podcast and video studio to expand access to mental health education and amplify teen voices. Sponsorship funds will support studio furniture, professional microphones, lighting, backdrops, and production tools – creating a safe, welcoming space for stories of hope.

Your Impact

Your sponsorship helps reduce stigma, strengthen communities, and encourage early helps-seeking while demonstrating your organization’s commitment to youth well-being. Sponsors receive event visibility and recognition across promotional materials and digital platforms.
