April 2009

Legs Against Arms is a 5K Race/Walk followed by a Celebration of Youth in support of reducing youth violence. This event encourages youth and adults to come together to strengthen their legs as they send a clear message opposing illegal handguns in Philadelphia. Young people will be able to showcase their unique talents, resilience, and potential for a future filled with hope, not harm at the Celebration of Youth.
