Head to Yakima this summer to participate in the inaugural Hot for a Cause 5K, a run/walk event that raises money for the Yakima Union Gospel Mission while shining a light on how unhoused community members survive dangerous summer heat without adequate shelter or support. Your registration fee goes directly toward providing essential services like shelter, meals, outreach, and recovery programs for neighbors experiencing homelessness. Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, you'll be helping vulnerable individuals in the Yakima Valley who face the intense summer elements every single day.
