St Jude Memphis Marathon benefiting Camp SoulGrow

I will be running my 22nd full marathon on December 3, the St Jude Memphis Marathon, to raise money and awareness for Camp SoulGrow. Since the pandemic, we have not been able to run our programming and have spent the past year building back our organization. 2023 will be a huge new year for us in Plaquemines Parish, serving all kids for free, and we are in need of support. All donations are tax deductible and 100% of all proceeds support our programming.

Camp SoulGrow is a 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 2014. Our mission is to strengthen children’s mental health. We achieve this mission by inspiring children in pressure-free opportunities for them to gain self esteem. Camp SoulGrow offers two such opportunities, each created with great intention (1) In-House workshops and (2) Off-Site adventures throughout the community that connect children with community artists and local businesses to serve as their mentors. Given the diversity of the camp’s curriculum and inclusive workshops, Camp SoulGrow is about action- participatory, collaborative learning – in which children are able to explore new interests, discover new talents, and learn to be open-minded, enabling them to become more creative, independent, and happier human beings.
