Yesterday’s Run With Maud 5K was such a special day, and my heart is so full. 💙💛

As Ahmaud’s mother, it means more than I can put into words to see so many people who still remember my son, continue to say his name, and show up year after year to make sure his legacy lives on.

This year, we set a goal to raise $50,000 for scholarships for young people in South Georgia and Metro Atlanta, and we exceeded it! Knowing that Ahmaud’s name is helping the next generation pursue their dreams means everything to me.

A special thank you to the City of Atlanta Government, Andre Dickens and his team, and all of our incredible sponsors and partners: adidas, Atlanta Track Club, Tides Foundation , Black Lives Matter, Ancore Foundation, PGA TOUR Superstore, Beyond Our Generation, Lookout Foundation, Dare to Hope, The WildRoot Collective, Big Peach Running Co. of South Fulton, Urban League of Greater Atlanta Young Professionals, Church of Atlanta Lighthouse, Richmont Graduate University, and the City of Union City.

Thank you to Black Men Run Atlanta and South Fulton Running Partners for always showing up and helping us spread the word. Thank you to our Ahmaud Arbery Foundation board for your continued commitment.

And a very special thank you to Tes and the entire RunningNerds team. This event would not be possible without your love, time, and commitment year after year.

My hope is that Ahmaud’s story will never only be remembered for the tragedy that happened to him. I want his name to live on through hope, change, opportunity, and the lives of the next generation.

Thank you for continuing to remember my son and Run With Maud. It means more to this mother than you will ever know.

Together, we are MAKING HOPE LOUD! 💙💛

Some moments leave you feeling incredibly humbled.

I am so proud to share that the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation has been selected as one of Leadership Atlanta Community Capacity Project partner organizations for the Class of 2027. Through this initiative, class members will work alongside our Foundation to help advance a strategic priority and strengthen our impact for years to come.

To think that a Foundation created out of tragedy is now being recognized for helping create hope in communities is an incredible honor. This recognition belongs to our board, our volunteers, our partners, and every person who has believed in this mission and continues to walk alongside us.

I couldn't be more proud of the work we are doing to invest in young people, strengthen communities, and make hope loud. This opportunity is another reminder that there is still so much work to do, and we're just getting started.

The work continues!

Every time our community comes together, I'm reminded that Ahmaud's legacy continues to bring people together in powerful ways.

It was an honor for the Ahmaud Arbery Foundation to serve as a Platinum Sponsor for the Golden Isles Track Club Sunshine 5K this past weekend. Seeing families, runners, and community members come together around health, hope, and opportunity was a beautiful reminder of why we do this work.

Now, we're inviting you to join us for our own day of hope.

On Saturday, August 29, we'll gather for the Run With Maud 5K at Shirley Clarke Franklin Park in Atlanta.

When you register, you're doing so much more than signing up for a race. You're helping provide scholarships for students across Metro Atlanta and South Georgia, investing in youth leadership, and ensuring that Ahmaud's name continues to stand for opportunity, compassion, and hope.

Because of supporters like you, we've already watched our first scholarship recipients earn their college degrees. That's the kind of impact your support makes possible.

Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or simply come to stand with us, we would be honored to have you there.

Let's continue to make HOPE louder than hate.
