The EC34 5K is a great way to come together and show your support for something that matters. It\’s not just about finishing first, but also about bringing people from all walks of life together in the name of making an impact! Join us, and together we can raise awareness of our mission and pledge to make responsible decisions. We go further when we go together. Here’s some of the ways communities can make a lasting positive impact:
The Power of Our Community
By coming together in a community, members can help each other accomplish goals that they would never be able to do alone, and having an organization with strong group identity is fundamental for doing jobs well. We are here to tackle the real problems of this world and teach future generations how we can make a positive change in the world. We must recognize the power and platform we have as one community and feel responsible to share lessons and values with our students. Groups offer an excellent way to keep everyone on task and motivated. They also provide the perfect environment for tackling difficult tasks because they empower members with a sense of participation, as well as shared rewards when success is achieved together! Groups can be a powerful source of guidance for people, especially when they have positive values. The power that groups hold in our lives has been demonstrated by our very own nature. We are all creatures of habit, and when we associate with like-minded people who share our values, it becomes easy to adopt those same beliefs. This is because groups provide us with reference points for social comparison; if you think something sounds good or suits your needs, then others might too!
Self-Growth Within Our Group
The environment you live in is a powerful force that can either limit or expand your potential. Peers play an important role when it comes to influencing others. Negative peer pressure might prevent someone from exploring their true selves due to the influence of those around them. On the other hand, positive peer pressures help push everyone towards success by encouraging goals and meaningful causes for the greater good. It’s important to emphasize that these positive pressures to work together and do good in the world not only help us outside our homes but in our homes as well! Creating a culture that values and supports making good decisions and helping those around us can bring us closer to our family and leave a positive influence on the children in our lives. Many of the students (and adults!) involved with the ETC Foundation have experienced personal growth through their participation with us; sometimes the simple act of surrounding yourself with positive energy can help you accomplish other, completely unrelated goals. Positivity encourages self-growth! The members of the ETC community have felt a sense of renewed energy and direction after being part of our events. They often credit the supportive environment of our community for this transformation, and we’re grateful to be able to provide a vehicle for that and share in this community with them!

There are many ways you can be a part of something greater, from growing into your full potential to simply meeting new people. The Edward Taylor Coombs Foundation invites everyone who wants the opportunity to be part of something greater to join us at our events and participate on our teams. We often get asked where one can find a community like this. Some are afraid of meeting new people or taking part in something that might change their life for the better, but we are here to guide and to share Edward\’s story, which has inspired us from the beginning. His legacy lives on through ours! It has been a truly rewarding experience to hear and see the impact this community has made in his name. Join us, and let’s make good things happen—for ourselves, each other, and our larger community—together!
