Together, We Move Forward

At Back on My Feet, every mile matters—and every story fuels our mission. Through our 2025 New York Gala, we gather to celebrate the power of movement, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of community. This is more than a gala—it’s a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come and to stride boldly toward the future we’re building together.

Whether on the pavement or in the ballroom, we are united by a shared purpose: helping individuals experiencing homelessness find new pathways to independence and stability through the power of running, community, and employment.

Changing Lives One Step at a Time

Since our founding, Back on My Feet has challenged stereotypes, broken down barriers, and empowered individuals to reclaim their lives—starting with a morning run and building toward lasting change.

But this transformation doesn't happen alone. It happens because of you—our volunteers, corporate partners, donors, and champions. The 2025 New York Gala is a celebration of every early morning, every finish line, and every job secured. It’s where we honor the journeys of our members, thank our supporters, and ignite momentum for what’s next.

Together, we’re not just running—we’re running toward hope, opportunity, and a future where everyone has the chance to cross their own finish line.
