From the Organizer
The Forever Home Run began in 2015 as a partnership between Legacy Adoption Services and Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church to raise awareness and funding to support foster children waiting for their forever families. This year will be the 12th annual FHR event! Forever Home Run includes both a virtual and an in-person option. The virtual event can be run anytime between October 3rd-5th. The in-person event takes place on October 3rd at Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church and includes two races: a 5k through beautiful Bloomfield Hills complete with fall foliage (9:00 am) and a 1k Dress-Up Dash (10:30 am)!
The 5k is USATF certified and professionally timed (microchip) by Eastside Racing Company. You are welcome to wear your favorite costume for either the 5k or the Dress-Up Dash. There will also be children's activities and community vendors. There will be medals for all finishers and prizes for overall winners as well as the top runner in each category.
In 2024 Legacy Adoption Services facilitated 196 adoptions in large part thanks to the generosity of our participants and sponsors. Please join us in 2026 for a fun event that really does make a difference in the lives of children and their forever families. To learn more, visit us at www.foreverhomerun.com. If you would like to make a donation or would like to help us fundraise, go to Forever Home Run (lasadoption.org). Your support truly matters to us, and we can’t wait to see you on October 3rd!
