Runners, walkers, families, community leaders, wheelchairs and strollers of all ages will soar together to raise funds and awareness to support Broward Children’s Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving infants, children and young adults who are developmentally disabled and medically fragile and their families. The event will feature a family-friendly 5K, children’s activities, live entertainment, a DJ, raffles, an awards ceremony, photo opportunities, and more.
