Together, we are creating brighter futures for children who need it most.

Footprints is RISHI Foundation’s annual 5K/10K run, initiated in 2022 in memory of Rishi, an athlete who believed in the transformative power of selfless acts. Each year, we gather runners of all backgrounds, children, adults, families, those with special needs or living with HIV, under one banner to raise awareness, promote community, and support the Positive Running program. Funds raised from Footprints go directly into empowering children and youth, helping them harness their physical and mental strength to become changemakers in their own lives.
