The Harlingen Police Department (HPD) is honored to host the 6th Annual Run with the Heroes 5k RGV Virtual event for the month of October 2020.
Proceeds received from this event will be donated to the following worthy organizations:
Make - A - Wish Rio Grande Valley
“A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness.”
This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish®. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible. Most of all, it's the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child. Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved - wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. The impact varies. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy. Whatever the odds, whatever the obstacles ... wishes find a way to make the world better. Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. ”
