Give Back to the Community

Run for a worthy cause! A portion of the proceeds collected from this year's Bridge2Bridge will help fund a community improvement initiative in East Topeka. Project Forward is a multicultural celebration that benefits Topeka's Hillcrest community. In addition to live entertainment, food, games and contests, the celebration gives participants the opportunity to register to vote and look for job opportunities.
