Sami Strong Family Fun Night & Glow Remembrance Walk
Saturday, November 14, 2026
Charlotte Preparatory School
Join us for an unforgettable evening of family fun, community, and hope at the Sami Strong Family Fun Night & Glow Remembrance Walk, benefiting the Sami Faith Foundation.
This year's event marks an exciting new tradition as we transition from our annual 5K to a family-friendly evening designed for all ages and abilities. Bring your family and friends to enjoy food, games, music, local vendors, children's activities, and more before we gather together for a meaningful 1-Mile Glow Remembrance Walk.
As the sun sets, participants will light up the night with glow accessories as we walk in honor of those we have lost, celebrate those courageously living with Stage IV breast cancer, and stand alongside the families continuing the fight. Whether you're walking in memory of a loved one, supporting someone currently battling cancer, or simply joining to make a difference, your presence helps bring hope to our community.
All proceeds benefit the Sami Faith Foundation, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to sharing the love of Christ while providing financial assistance and encouragement to local families facing Stage IV breast cancer.
Come make memories, celebrate life, and help us shine a light of hope for families who need it most.
