Running Toward Empowerment Miles for Moms 2023
Gazing out into the audience of more than 250 Miles for Moms participants, FloCrit students Flor and Ingrid were met with the enthusiastic expressions of the FloCrit community. This crowd consists of people who firmly believe in the lasting impact that educating, preparing, and empowering teenage mothers and their children can have on society. To represent the 60% of FloCrit students that speak Spanish as their first language, Flor delivered her speech in her native language with her friend and peer, Ingrid, translating in English. At the 18th Annual Miles for Moms, the FloCrit community showed teen moms like Flor and Ingrid their support by raising over $25,000 in peer-to-peer fundraising, exceeding our goal of $20,000. Overall, the event raised $54,000 in Flor (left) gives her speech at Miles for Moms, translated by Ingrid (right). support of FloCrit teen moms and their children!
