PADMA stands for Positive Actions to Develop and Mentor Adolescents. The Padma Foundation is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to helping kids believe in life’s possibilities. So often, young people face traumatic experiences and challenging circumstances which make their formative years incredibly difficult to navigate. Many do not believe what they are capable of due to lack of mentorship and support systems.

Through our Run for PADMA events, we raise funds that support the meaningful work of our partner organizations. We fund nonprofits that help youth develop the confidence, courage, and optimism to realize their full potential.
