RunGiving 2024 is more than just a run – it’s a journey fueled by purpose
Over the course of Thanksgiving week, Kevin Hopp will be running 350 miles to raise funds for Molly’s Angels Foundation and to support Monarch Schools, a lifeline for homeless youth, and Vista Hill, which provides crucial mental health, education, and social services. Join Kevin Hopp and his friends on this journey and help them reach their goal to make a lasting impact.
What’s RunGiving All About?
In 2022, Kevin Hopp launched RunGiving to elevate the concept of running for a cause. Inspired by the "Run It Forward Challenge" from running apparel brand ‘rabbit’, Kevin set a goal to run 300 miles over Thanksgiving week. It began as a solo mission, with a few friends joining him each day. On the final day, Kevin was joined by his former student, Molly’s friend David, and his running coach Meriah at Discovery Lake in San Marcos, where he surpassed his goal, finishing with 302 miles! As a result, 30 items from ‘rabbit’ were donated to Soles4Souls, making an impact both on and off the trail.
Kevin Hopp, Molly’s former math teacher, has a gift for inspiring others to join him on his planned 350-mile fundraiser in November.
For RunGiving 2023, Kevin set his sights even higher by partnering with Molly’s Angels Foundation. The challenge expanded to include raising funds for Monarch Schools – providing homeless youth with access to education and support. Every mile run by Kevin and his fellow runners contributed to the cause, resulting in $10,000 raised! Although Kevin fell just short of his 350-mile goal, finishing with 335 miles, the spirit of the event was stronger than ever.
This year, Kevin is pushing the limits once again to complete his 350 miles during Thanksgiving week. He’s determined to raise even more funds to support Monarch Schools and Molly’s Angels Foundation. As Kevin says, “Whether you run 1 mile or 100, every step counts.” Together, we can make a bigger impact in 2024.

A Look Back at RunGiving 2023
RunGiving 2023 was an unforgettable week filled with determination, community, and heart. From the early morning runs to the incredible support of fellow runners, every moment was a step toward making a difference for Monarch School and Molly’s Angels Foundation. Together, we covered hundreds of miles, raised over $10,000, and created lasting memories that remind us how powerful community can be.
Here’s a glimpse of some of the most inspiring moments from last year’s event – the miles, the smiles, and the people who made it all possible. We’re ready to do it again in 2024, and we hope you’ll join us!
