Walk, Rock, Roll, and Run
For 22 years, our Walk, Rock, Roll, and Run event has brought people together to celebrate unity, diversity, and inclusion. Thanks to your incredible support, this event has been a vital part of our mission.
But this year, we’re taking things in an exciting new direction!
While we are stepping away from Walk, Rock, Roll, and Run this year, this is not goodbye! We are using this time to reimagine our community engagement and will be back next year with something even more dynamic and impactful with The Unity Challenge.
Exciting Changes at The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio:
