The Human Race - Thank You!

What an incredible year for the Human Race! Thank you to all of the kind and generous community members who came together to support the 130 participating nonprofits, schools, and churches in this year's race. Thanks to you, we gave more, granted wishes, and made magic for our community in record numbers.

Awards Ceremony

Nonprofit representatives are invited to join us on Thursday June 15th, from 5pm-7pm at the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County for our 2017 Human Race Awards Ceremony.
