Why We Run: Supporting the ALICE Population

In West Florida, many of our neighbors are ALICE: Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed. These are the essential workers, childcare providers, and service professionals who work tirelessly but still struggle to afford the basics of housing, food, and healthcare. One "flat tire" or unexpected medical bill can lead to a financial tailspin. 

All proceeds from Glitz & Gallop go directly toward programs that provide a safety net for these individuals and families.
