Note in the Pocket – a nonprofit that provides high-quality clothing to impoverished and
homeless children and families – hosted its inaugural Durham Socks & Undie 5K Rundie on April 27 at NewHope Church. The event drew 252 in-person participants and 15 virtual racers, plus 21 kids ages 2-11 who took part in the Kids Fun Run. Bull City Inflatables provided a playground for the little ones in a Kids Zone, and Bull City Running Co. was also on-site. “Note in the Pocket has a goal to clothe 1,500 Durham children and families this year,” says Note in the Pocket Executive Director Dallas Bonavita. “The successful kickoff of our annual Durham Socks & Undie Rundie has helped to get the word out of our need for volunteers, quality clothing and financial support. It has been amazing to see the community come to support our work in such a positive and powerful way! Durham does everything in a big way and with a huge heart!” 4
