From the Organizer
We’re excited to announce the SAX 4 MILER is back for its15th consecutive year on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at SAX's state-of-the-art headquarters in the heart of Parsippany, NJ!
This annual run/walk event brings together the community to support a cause close to our hearts: The Child Life Department at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital in Paterson, NJ.
Thanks to unwavering support over the years, we’ve proudly raised over $1,000,000 for St. Joseph's Children's Hospital, becoming the Child Life Department’s largest financial contributor. And once again, SAX hosts and absorbs the costs for this community event so 100% of every dollar raised goes directly toward providing healing, comfort, and joy through therapies that benefit the pediatric patients, like:
🎨 Art Therapy: Helping children express emotions through creativity
🎶 Music Therapy: Using sound to promote healing and ease anxiety
🐶 Animal-Assisted Therapy: Bringing comfort and connection through trained therapy animals
🌱 Horticultural Therapy: Supporting rehabilitation through nature and play
🧸 Therapeutic Play: Helping kids understand and cope with their medical journey
Every mile walked or run makes a difference in a child’s life - and we can’t wait to see you at the starting line.
