This is our second year as an Official Charity for Run for a Reason, and WOW, do we have many big running shoes to fill! In 2022, we won Chevron's $25,000 contest for raising the most money in a 10 day window, and we RAISED THE MOST MONEY out of all 60 charities! We are so humbled and grateful for our team, our community, and our donors who helped us cross the finish line with flying colors! Now we’re ready to lace up and do it again, and we hope you will join us!

Steel Magnolia Moms positively supports moms of children with special needs with a mission to promote health and happiness. We do this by providing community support, online support, and direct support through programs including Mom’s Camp, Moxie Boxes, Magnolia Wellness, Head to Heart and Happy Camper(s).

85% of moms who have children with special needs say they have lost their sense of self. Please help us change that by signing up to run for these moms. As we've learned in special needs motherhood experience, running isn't always easy and sometimes it’s downright hard. But the rewards are great and the journey is beautiful, and most importantly- we can and will do it together! So if "Go Big or Go Home," "You Can and You Will," or "YOLO" speaks to you...  Welcome to Team Steel Magnolia Moms!
