Rainbow Run 5K
2023 Rainbow Run
The LGBTQ+ Center's 8th annual Rainbow Run fundraiser was held Friday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Risman Plaza. Coordinated by the Kent State LGBTQ+ Center, Rainbow Run helps provide funding to replenish the LGBTQ+ Emergency Fund, which supports KSU students who are in crisis, often after being disowned by family for coming out as LGBTQ. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, participated, and donated to make this an amazing night! Your support is much appreciated!
