Celebrating Our 2026 Family Fun Run

 

What a wonderful day! Our August 2026 Family Fun Run brought together approximately 138 runners for a joyful celebration of family, fitness, music, and community—all in support of our mission to provide essential food, clean water, and medical care to 120 preschools in Zimbabwe.

 

From incredible live music and delicious food to carnival games, a rock-climbing wall, bounce house, arts and crafts, and face painting, there was something for everyone. We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated, volunteered, and helped make the event possible.

 

A heartfelt thank-you to our generous sponsors—Mission Wealth Management, Dudum Real Estate Group, Aloha Pediatric Dentistry, Meredith Peterson Homes, Jen Moeller/Compass, Minute Man Press Lafayette, Diablo Foods, Noah’s Bagels, Gu and Sports Basement —for their support. Your generosity helps us continue bringing hope and essential resources to children in Zimbabwe.

 

We would also like to give a very special thank-you to our wonderful Event Manager, Amy Campbell, who has organized more than 12 Family Fun Runs over the past decade. As Amy retires from her role as Event Manager, we are incredibly grateful for her years of dedication, the joy she has brought to these events and for the lasting legacy she leaves in our community. We wish her all the best in this next chapter!

 

Thank you Amy and to everyone who made this year’s Family Fun Run so memorable!
