The beneficiaries of this year’s race include the Arc of Orange County, Push America, and St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Push America and the Arc serve people with acquired, physical, and developmental disabilities; St. Jude is a treatment and research center focused on children’s catastrophic diseases. Quotes:"I’m excited that Tri Delta and Pi Kappa Phi are partnering to support this event. It’s a great way to raise money for our philanthropies and the Arc. We are thrilled about getting the campus and community involved in our event and hope this will become something people look forward to every year,” said Cara English, Heels4Hope coordinator for Delta Delta Delta. “We learned a lot hosting the race last year and are thrilled to have Tri-Delta join us for Heels4Hope this year.
