2026 Sponsor Kids:
We are a non-profit group from the Erie, MI community raising funds for local families with children who are battling severe or life-threatening medical conditions. Each year we hold a 5K road run and family fun walk. 2026 is our 14th year! We have many silent auctions, raffles and prizes to give away after the race. Please join us this year for another family fun event that helps us provide funds to local families who need it the most.
