Hope Adoption Agency's Miles for Mom 5K Run/Walk @8am

At Hope Adoption Agency, we continue in our mission and vision of serving the Upper Cumberland with affordable and accessible adoption services! Hope Adoption Agency remains as the only agency of its kind here in our region, and in 2026, we are setting our sights on raising the funds to grow and expand the opportunities for housing that we can offer our expectant mothers and keeping adoption affordable to our adoptive families.

"The 3rd annual Miles for Mom event exists to celebrate and support birth mothers, adoptive families, and the children we
serve; born and unborn. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to cover event costs and directly advance our pro-life mission. In a jumpstart effort to kick off Mother's Day Weekend, we bring this event to showcase, honor, and celebrate every mother!"
