Watch our calendar for next year's event!
On Saturday, November 19, join us on Roosevelt Island for Avail's first-ever "Turkey Trot" 5K Run and Walk. It'll be a great time to get outside, burn some calories before the holiday, and raise funds for New Yorkers facing unexpected pregnancies.
We're looking for 100 runners to raise $100 to support Avail this fall. It's easy. Just register to run below, and you'll be prompted to create a peer-to-peer fundraising page, which you can share with friends and family members who might want to support Avail.
Can't commit to fundraising for us? Come run anyway, and connect with other New Yorkers passionate about serving those in need!
Here's the fine print:
