Healthy Kids Running Series

Healthy Kids Running Series (EIN 80-0779739) is listed in the wrong category here (animals/zoos/aquariums) - that should be fixed. It's a kids running program based out of PA but there are locations throughout the U.S. run by contracted coordinators. Leadership has drastically changed over the last year and we found a news story about possible embezzlement that has not been addressed. They answer no questions about whether money is missing and they have yet to share their 2021 financials. Here is the article found in June: https://pennrecord.com/stories/626697620-accounting-manager-accused-of-embezzlement-and-payroll-fraud-sues-former-employer

Additionally, there seems to be no real board of directors. The "president" who took over for his brother (who took a mysterious "sabbatical" with no explanation last fall and is now not returning) is the only listed person on the board. When asked, he gave 2 other names who are both affiliated with another non-profit organization (Amoveo Group). Bottom line is I don't trust what is happening with the money at HKRS, especially over the last year.

There had previously been an advisory board made up of coordinators, but that was disbanded, as well. HKRS went well over a year with no board of directors, advisory board, and essentially zero accountability or transparency with those of us who work hardest to keep them afloat.

One other thing that has bothered me is that without explanation, they removed "Family First" from their Values Statement. Communities deserve an explanation of when values are changed in a non-profit and how/why that decision was made.
