Run for Rocky

Five Run For Rocky [5k Run/Walk] events took place annually beginning in April of 2013 with the FINALE event taking place on April 9th 2017. The fundraising efforts through these events have established a Legacy Fund that helps to support Gay Straight Alliances in local high schools and post-secondary schools in Windsor-Essex County. This financial support includes GSA grants, GSA scholarships, funds students and educators to go to GSA educational conferences, supplies educational resources that help support parents and educators and accommodates Diversity Training for educators.

The Run for Rocky Legacy Project continues to collect donations and sanction approved third party events to ensure the legacy of this event continues and the funding model remains intact. This year the RETURN of the Run for Rocky Event will end the Hiatus of the event and will take place on Windsor-Essex Pride Fest Weekend. The proceeds for this year’s RETURN event will continue to support the Run for Rocky funding model as well as help support partner LGBTQ+ agencies in the region-Windsor Pride Community, Windsor-Essex Pride Fest and Trans Wellness Ontario.
