FUNDRAISE / DONATE

Form a 5K Fundraising Team:
Grab your friends, colleagues, neighbors, and pets! Impress us with your creative team name and let’s see how much money you can raise! Whether you are on a t
eam or join us individually, all funds raised go directly to our Minyan Tzedek work, which helps our community and our neighbors through direct service actions. 

Fundraising Instructions:
1. Share this link for fundraising far and wide with all the supportive people in your life. https://ikar.org/5k-fun-run/donate
2. Instruct your supporters to select the “I am supporting a participant in the 5K” box and write in the FULL NAME of the person they are supporting. This step is VITAL for us to track who is raising the most money!  If you have a team name, be sure to share that with your supporters so they can write it in the donation form.

NOT IN LOS ANGELES?

If you’re not in Los Angeles, a virtual run option is available.

You can still register and run virtually. You can even form a team! Send us your selfies or tag us in your posts @weareikar. Can you beat our local runners? Show us what you got, Afarites!

Let’s see who can raise the most money for our amazing Minyan Tzedek initiatives!

SHMOOZER, NOT A RUNNER?

If you’re more of a shmoozer than a runner, join us for a mitzvah in the park!  Help us honor the memory of long-time IKAR member, Melanie Pozez, a a passionate champion for people experiencing homelessness. We will pack over 100 Welcome Home Care Kits for Mayor Bass’s Inside Safe Initiative. This program helps people move into interim housing and then into permanent homes.

WHERE WE MEET

We’ll meet at Picnic Area #2 to start the race in Cheviot Hills Park (2459 Motor Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90064) at 9:30am.

There will be music, food (of course), games/activities for the kids,  and you get the bonus of meeting other IKARites while doing a mitzvah. Those participating in the 5K also have an opportunity to make kits after the race.

Come join us for this great event! We look forward to being together with you to make this community day fun and meaningful for all!
