The Iraqi Children Foundation (ICF), a 501 (c) (3) charity, is hosting its Fourth Annual IN THEIR SHOES 5K Run/Walk to benefit Iraq's most vulnerable children – its orphans, street children and kids fleeing ISIS.

The mission of ICF is to assist the families and communities of Iraq by mobilizing a life changing Surge of Love for these desperately poor and at risk children.

No major foreign policy decisions are made without it. Join David Priess, who served during the Clinton and George W.
