HMEA's incredABLE 5K Goes Virtual - May 17

We are going VIRTUAL!

These are uncertain times for all of us. HMEA is responding to the Covid-19 crisis by providing essential staff 24 hours a day in group homes; virtually connecting and teaching children with autism and adults with developmental disabilities who are staying safe at home; and offering resources to hundreds of families in need at this critical time.

HMEA's incredABLE 5K Goes Virtual - May 17

Your contributions are vital as we work through this state of emergency together and then continue to teach, support, and empower the 5,000 members of the HMEA community. Eventually all of our supported individuals will resume their normal routines and we want to be ready for that with the resources that will be made available through the funds raised by this event.

So we are making the incredABLE 5K a VIRTUAL EVENT!

Live Virtual Event - MAY 17

10:00 am - walk and run
11:00 am - ceremonies, winners announced, raffles pulled
