The Journey House is the exclusive beneficiary for Foster The Future!

The terms “aged out” or “emancipated” describe foster youth who are discharged from the foster care system when they attain a certain age. According to the Children’s Advocacy Institute, 65% of foster youth “age out” of the system without a place to live, less than 3% go to college, 51% are unemployed, and

“aged out” females are 4 times more likely to receive public assistance than the general population.

This is a wonderful opportunity to help support emancipated foster youth.

Proceeds from the race benefit Journey House, “whose sole purpose is to assist emancipated foster youth to meet their independent living needs.” You may find additional information about Journey House at www.journeyhouseyouth.org.
