Rainbow Weekend 5K

Proceeds of the 2025 Rainbow Weekend 5K will be donated to the newly established LGBTQ+ Fund offered through The Portage Foundation!

The Portage Foundation’s LGBTQ+ Fund was created to be a resource to support the well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals and families in Portage County. LGBTQ+ individuals—particularly youth and college students—face disproportionate challenges related to mental health, housing insecurity, and access to support services. This fund helps close those gaps with compassion and community by fostering community, providing vital services, and creating opportunities for those who have been historically underserved.

The Rainbow Weekend 5K committee is honored to host one of the first fundraising campaigns for this imperative fund—and we need your help to make this vision a reality!
