Established in 2016, the Race for Hope brings together employees, donor families, transplant recipients, sponsors, and community members from across Hampton Roads. The course runs through the LifeNet Health campus and neighboring Tidewater Community College grounds. All funds raised remain with the Foundation and directly support:
