Why Participate?

Where does the Funding go?
All funding raised from the Day of Excellence event, would go towards our FAME scholarship fund. The F.A.M.E. (Family Academics Motivation, and Environment) scholarship is a dedicated scholarship fund for former ACE program participants. The scholarship provides supplemental funds that can be utilized by students to cover costs associated with their post-secondary educational paths. We realize that as students continue their education there are often unexpected costs and obstacles that can get in the way of successfully completing programs.

The Academy for Creating Excellence (ACE) and Black Men Run (BMR) - Seattle will be collaborating through a 5k walk/jog/run called the Day of Excellence.
Day of Excellence is a scholarship fundraiser centered around the health and wellness of black men. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to support the ACE FAME Scholarship fund. 15 ACE students will receive $1,000 awards towards their post-secondary education.ACE is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization providing high quality services in support of black males. Fostering safe spaces to facilitate their growth to best understand themselves as viables world citizens.
BMR - Seattle - At Black Men Run we believe that running/jogging can change these alarming trends and we are here to encourage African American males to get out and be active. Research tells us that running on a regular basis not only benefits individuals from a physical standpoint but also increases mental sharpness. Studies show that running on a regular basis helps to boost your confidence, relieves stress and eliminates depression.
