Our 2024 5K is scheduled for April 14! Registration is now open. View our 5k Page for all the info.
Thank your for helping us celebrate our 30th Anniversary with this year’s Walk ‘n’ Run for Hope! The mission of OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center is to provide grief support services, education, resources and hope to the Los Angeles community. Every dollar raised goes towards providing essential grief support services to children, teens and adults.
After four years, our community came together in the beautiful new location of Woodley Park to support one another by sharing grief and finding hope. Over 1200 people enjoyed the songs of Andy Grammer, walked Lake Balboa and made it possible to have free and low-cost grief support services to those in need.
If you missed Andy Grammer’s performance, check out this video of his hit, “These Tears”, a tribute to his mother who died of cancer.
