Breeze Thru the Trees is a 5k cross country run winding through a lush tree nursery in Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve.   Proceeds from Breeze Thru the Trees will benefit the Montgomery County Children’s Opportunity Alliance, which is working to build an equitable, accessible, high-quality, and sustainable early childhood system that narrows disparities and puts all young children on a path to reach their greatest potential. Grounded in collaboration and accountability for each other, the alliance convenes stakeholders across all sectors in order to forge a thriving, justice-based system at the county level. The Children's Opportunity Alliance believes that when the smallest among us flourish, we all experience well-being.
