Peaceful Paces: Blackout Run for Black History Month

Together, let’s uplift our neighbors in Southwest Detroit and honor Black History with compassion and community.


Run. Walk. Jog. Or simply stand with us. Every step counts. Every gesture matters. Let’s move with purpose and make a difference—together.

Join us this Saturday at Nike Detroit for a blackout run in honor of Black History Month. We’ll gather at 11:00 AM and take off at 11:30 AM.

Movement with Purpose—We’re collecting essential items for families affected by the Southwest Detroit floods. Donations will be distributed through Santos Church, serving as a warming center.

Requested Items:
• Feminine products
• Hygiene essentials
• Diapers
• Batteries
• Warm clothing (gloves, hats, hoodies, coats, pants, socks)

Can’t attend? Donations can also be dropped off at Motor City Church during 9:00 am AND 11:00 AM services on Sunday.

Call to Community—
• Wear all black or come as you are.
• Coffee from Roasting Plant Detroit and warming supplies provided.
• Black American Heritage and African American flags available for those who want to carry the culture.
