In 2023, the Kellin Foundation took the helm of Shea's Chase 5K Run/Walk, continuing the esteemed work and legacy initiated by Tom and Dianne McKenna back in 2015.

Since its inception, Shea’s Chase has dedicated all proceeds to supporting mental health services. Initially benefiting Mental Health Greensboro, Greensboro’s longest-running mental health non-profit established in 1940, the event raised over $400,000 from 2015 to 2021, directly aiding its free mental health programs.

In 2022, Mental Health Greensboro merged their peer support programs with the Kellin Foundation. Now, Shea’s Chase proceeds directly contribute to the Kellin Foundation's free counseling, peer support, and wraparound services that serve over 12,000 children, adults and families annually in Guilford County and beyond

Thanks to the benevolence of community members and organizations like yours, we are poised to continue making a substantial impact. Together, we aim to enhance the availability of high-quality mental health services for individuals in our area, fostering a healthier and more supportive community.

Your participation and support are crucial in our shared mission to improve mental health accessibility and advocacy. We are grateful to have you as part of the Shea’s Chase and Kellin Foundation family.

It is a wonderful way to encourage your employees to be a part of a fun event and provide positive community leadership.
