Crawl The Rock
May 25, 2026
This “cute-fest” was a brainchild of one of our Peer Counselors a few years ago and has quickly become one of the most popular events during Kodiak’s annual Crab Festival. Any baby who can propel themselves by crawling or toddling is eligible to race! Door prizes from local businesses, broacast play-by-play, and race swag for the athletes round out the organized chaos.

The Milk Run
September 12, 2026
Back in 2013, a couple of KINDNESS participants came up with this annual fundraising idea. They wanted to find a way to raise awareness of KINDNESS in the community, bring families together and support the KINDNESS mission. This event brings together community members of all ages — whether on foot, in strollers, or wagging along on four legs — to promote healthy families and strong community connections.
