17th Annual 5K4Kids Run/Walk & Family Fair
Walsh, Middle School, Framingham, MA
October 24, 2026, marks the 17th anniversary of the 5K4Kids run/walk and family fair. This is a wonderful occasion for the whole family, featuring:
- 5-kilometer run/walk
- Activities include: face painting, airbrush tattoos, balloon clown, bouncy house, and lawn games.
- Refreshments
- Purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win one of two $1,000 Visa gift cards or one of three $500 Visa gift cards on the day of the race. Raffle tickets will be sold until 11:30 AM on October 24. The drawing will take place at noon.
When you sign up for the race, make a donation of any size, or choose to sponsor our event, you play a direct role in improving the lives of young people and families who depend on our programs. Each act of generosity helps spark real change, opening doors to brighter futures. With your support, we can continue to create even more opportunities and lasting impact.
No matter how you choose to give—through donations, race registration, or buying raffle tickets—your support powers essential resources for youth and families in need. Every contribution goes toward emergency food and clothing, diapers and formula, school supplies, holiday presents, nutritious meals, and warm winter clothing like coats, hats, and gloves. Together, we’re making a real difference—one child, one family, and one community at a time.
