Support local youth and families today!

The Matthews House invites businesses and community members to come together for a powerful and purpose-driven Relay Race Fundraiser that combines teamwork, celebration, and meaningful community impact. This unique event brings people from across Northern Colorado together to run, support one another, and raise critical funds for youth and families working toward stability, independence, and long-term success.

Participants form 12-person relay teams, with each runner committing to raise $1,000, for a collective team goal of $12,000. Whether your team is made up of coworkers, friends, family members, or a mix of all three, every mile run and every dollar raised directly supports The Matthews House’s mission to empower youth and families through connection, self-efficacy, and hope.

Businesses can engage by forming a company team, sponsoring employees, matching donations, or supporting the event through in-kind contributions such as providing volunteers for the race day. Community members are encouraged to join teams, create their own, or support runners through donations and encouragement. All partners receive recognition through event promotions, signage, and digital outreach, highlighting their commitment to strengthening the community.

Beyond fundraising, this relay race creates a shared experience rooted in collaboration and perseverance. Teams rely on one another, celebrate milestones, and push through challenges together—reflecting the same values The Matthews House fosters in the lives of those it serves. The event builds connection across workplaces, neighborhoods, and social circles, turning individual efforts into collective impact.
