Goal

Join local runner Shila Hawk, Fleet Feet Decatur, and Pure Barre Decatur for a special one-mile community run celebrating strength, recovery, and giving back!

After six months of recovery from major surgery, Shila is marking her return to running by turning her personal milestone into an opportunity to help the Furniture Bank rebuild after the devastating fire that destroyed its warehouse in June 2025.

Proceeds from this event will support the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta, a nonprofit that brings stability to individuals and families in need by providing essential furniture to turn their empty houses into fully furnished homes.

Together, we’re celebrating resilience and fueling a comeback story for both Shila and the Furniture Bank!

Event Details:
 🏃‍♀️ Hosted by Fleet Feet Decatur running club
 💪 In collaboration with Pure Barre Decatur
 📅 Wednesday, December 3rd at 6:30pm
 📍 Fleet Feet Decatur (431 W Ponce de Leon Ave #1, Decatur, GA 30030)

⭐ RSVP HERE!

After the run, stick around for a community gathering to learn more about the Furniture Bank’s mission, contribute funds, and discover how you can get involved through furniture donations or volunteering.

Whether you’re lacing up to run, cheering from the sidelines, or simply donating online, your support will help bring comfort and stability to families across Metro Atlanta.

➡️ Give today to support Shila’s run and help the Furniture Bank rebuild and restore homes!
