Join the LGBTQ+ Center for our 8th annual Rainbow Run fundraiser! The event will be held Friday, October 13th at 7pm at the Risman Plaza - Kent Campus (1075 Risman Dr., Kent OH 44242). Coordinated by the Kent State LGBTQ+ Center, Rainbow Run helps provide funding to replenish the LGBTQ+ Emergency Fund, which supports KSU students who are in crisis, often after being disowned by family for coming out as LGBTQ.
