Save the date for Saturday, Aug. 24, as With Ella hosts a one-of-a-kind 5K event.

With Ella is not a typical 5K so there’s no podium and no timer, just a celebration of all forms of movement. Participants can run, walk, skip or dance to the finish line.

In partnership with the Austin Area Arts Festival, the 5K will start at 8 a.m. and will wrap up just in time for the festival’s kick-off.

This event is not only fun but also supports a meaningful cause. Proceeds from With Ella will benefit the Riverland Community College Emergency Grant Scholarship, which supports students facing unexpected financial challenges that could impact their academic success.

This event is organized by Grace Heimsness and Austin PEO Chapter AQ along with Chel Page and With Ella, Inc. in memory of Ella Page, with a mission to support college-aged women as they navigate the unique challenges of early adulthood, particularly those related to well-being.

With Ella, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a supportive community for young women. The mission is to empower young women to speak up, build resilience, nurture their mental and physical well-being, and lead healthy lives.

Can’t make it to Austin? Participate virtually from anywhere.

Get moving in celebrating Ella’s memory and supporting the educational community by coming together to move, have fun, and make a difference.
