RUNNING OF THE BEDS

Huge thanks to everyone who made 2025 Running of the Beds a success!

Because of your generosity, we raised $53,700 to furnish homes at no cost for Kansas City families. Make sure to join us for our event next year in Spring 2026!

It’s never too early to start building your racing bed  🛏️️‍🔥

Running of the Beds is a bed race to support Kansas City’s furniture bank!

Running of the Beds is a community festival hosted by Flourish, Kansas City’s only furniture bank, that will raise support to provide free beds for families. In this thrilling, one-of-a-kind race, teams will compete neck-to-neck on home-made beds on wheels. Proceeds from the event will be essential to provide an entire home of furnishings for 1,500 families overcoming housing insecurity.
