Welcome to TEAM emb(race)® 2025
Over the past several years there have been many challenges in the world, along with the loss of our visionary and leader, Shawn Friedkin, who passed away on March 3 2021. And more recently, Shawn’s mom, board member, and our biggest cheerleader, Skeets Friedkin, who passed away on June 5, 2024. While we are still mourning these incredible losses, we remain dedicated more than ever to keep their vision alive. This year our Team emb(race)® is in their memory.
Join Team emb(race)® in-person or virtually as part of the Spirit of Giving, Community Spirit Race on March 1, 2025, on the Boca Raton campus of FAU (5K or one-mile family walk/run). The race will be accessible for those with visual and mobility impairments. We welcome the use of daily wheelchairs, but we are sorry that the course cannot accommodate handcycles or racing chairs.
As a race participant, sponsor or donor, you will help Stand Among Friends continue to fund our programs to enhance the lives of people with disabilities, by promoting opportunities for them to live a life without limits.
