Ele's Race 5K Run/Walk - July 19, 2025

Ele's Race 5K Run/Walk is an annual event aimed at raising awareness of, and funding for, grieving children, teens, young adults and their families in our Mid-Michigan community.  Ele's Place provides peer to peer grief support groups to children and teens (ages 3-18), young adults (ages 18-26) and any adult who brings a child to group.  These services are provided at no cost to families thanks to our generous donors and supporters.  To learn more about our vision that 'no child should grieve alone'
