• Memorable Moments 1 Mile Fun Run:- Run 1 Mile

Join us on Saturday, July 11th in downtown Jacksonville for the Caitlin's Closet 5km and Memorable Moments 1 Mile Fun Run.  This race is in it's first year and is a fundraiser for Caitlin's Closet.   There is a chip timed 5km and a Memorable Moments 1 Mile Fun Fun.  

This event supports Caitlin's Closet.  Caitlin’s Closet® has provided young women without resources, either financial or otherwise, the opportunity to outfit themselves in donated clothes for proms, dances, academic award and sports banquets. New or lightly used dresses, have allowed teens to participate fully in important and exciting coming-of-age events, build their confidence, and create lasting memories. Since 2006, Caitlin's Closet has partnered and formed alliances with individuals, organizations, businesses and service groups to build a network throughout 40 states!

This year alone Caitlin's Clsoet has sponsored over 14 new events that have served diverse parts of the country and addressed unique needs. Prom dresses were shipped to an Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Wedding dresses were sent to Haiti! Caitlin's Closet has reached a donation high of 10,000 dresses valued at $1,000,000! Discovering the depth of needs in the women Caitlin's Closet has served has challenged them to grow further in their mission statement. Now Caitlin’s Closet® is evolving, moving beyond just dresses. They are empowering all ages who are just finding their voice. Caitlin's Closet has developed a strategic plan that will position Caitlin’s Closet® as a Social Enterprise to accelerate the reach and amplify the impact. What started as a way for young women to be included in some of life’s iconic moments, has transformed into a platform where young people can also acquire the skills to define themselves so they are no longer defined by their circumstances.

In addition to the race there are fabulous post race activities for the whole family described in more detail below.
