Philanthropy - Washington, District of Columbia, United States
The Sunset Run for Refugees is a special running event on the evening of June 19th, the eve of World Refugee Day, involving the runners, walkers, and community of Washington, DC that will culminate in a candlelight display and vigil at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. With candles in hand, we will form a "caravan of light and hope" and embark on a short run or walk as the sun sets on the horizon. Our journey concludes at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, where our symbolic caravan of light and hope for refugees will come together for a massive candlelight vigil in support of refugees around the globe as the sun sets in our nation's capital. We aim to emanate light and hope out into the world to commemorate World Refugee Day, June 20th.This event also raises funds for three refugee relief organizations—Alight, Save the Children, and International Rescue Committee.
