From the Organizer
At Beverly’s PGH, we believe celebration is essential.
Join us for our Celebrate It Forward 5K & Family Walk, a joyful morning of movement, community, and impact. Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual walker, pushing a stroller, or bringing the whole family along, every step you take helps create moments of joy for local children and families.
When you participate, you're helping Beverly’s PGH provide birthday celebrations, baby essentials, formula support, hygiene items, clothing, and other critical resources to families across Southwestern Pennsylvania.
This isn't just a race—it's a chance to celebrate the power of community and pass that joy forward to someone who needs it most.
Come dressed in your brightest colors, gather your friends and family, and join us for a morning filled with fun, cheer, and purpose.
Because when we celebrate together, we create more reasons for others to celebrate, too.
All proceeds from the event will directly support Beverly's PGH mission of celebrating and strengthening families in Southwestern PA.
