5K For A Cause

  • April 2026

Our most recent 5K was more than just a race—it was a celebration of community, inclusion, and heart. Members, families, and friends laced up their sneakers, brought their energy, and showed up in a big way to support a cause that truly makes a difference. Thanks to the incredible turnout and generous spirit of everyone involved, we raised meaningful funds to benefit GiGi’s Playhouse Fort Myers—and the impact will reach far beyond race day.

GiGi’s Playhouse provides free, life-changing programs for children and individuals with Down syndrome, along with vital support for their families. From educational tutoring and speech therapy programs to fitness classes and social development opportunities, GiGi’s Playhouse empowers participants to build confidence, reach personal goals, and thrive at every stage of life. Just as importantly, it creates a welcoming community where families can connect, find resources, and feel supported every step of the way.

Seeing our community come together—whether running, walking, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines—was a powerful reminder that when we move together, we make a difference together. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event such a meaningful success. We are proud to support GiGi’s Playhouse and look forward to continuing to run with purpose in the months ahead!

(And for all of you who think you can’t do a 5K, you totally can. It’s only 3.1 miles and it can be walked or run. We’ll see you at our next event!)
