Through community building, Bel Inizio empowers women to overcome fear and isolation as they transition from life challenges such as incarceration, addiction, and homelessness to self-sufficiency.
For the past fifteen years, Bel Inizio has provided FREE fitness, nutrition, and life skills programs that equip women with the tools to achieve their goals and build a brighter future.
For the 10th consecutive year, Bel Inizio will participate as an official charity in the Chevron Houston Marathon’s Run for a Reason Program. Proceeds from Team Bel Inizio will directly support our mission to help women achieve success beyond the finish line.
Join Team Bel Inizio today and help us turn challenges into victories! You can walk, run, or donate from the comfort of your home.
