Sunday, May 4, 10:30 am, Sandler Family Campus
Jewish Family Service of Tidewater, in partnership with Embrace Counseling, is busy preparing for the 21st Annual Run, Roll, Stroll on the Sandler Family Campus. This year’s event promises to be more fun and exciting than before – featuring a colorful, obstacle-filled Fun Run that’s sure to delight participants of all ages.
“We’ve taken some lessons from last year’s event and are making this year’s Run, Roll, Stroll even better,” says Kelly Burroughs, CEO of Jewish Family Service. “Expect fewer clouds of color powder but an increased focus on fun, with new surprises waiting around every corner of the course.”
Whether running, strolling, or rolling through the fun, the event will include thrilling obstacles, foam-filled sections, and just a hint of color powder to keep things lighthearted. The event will take place just before Yom Ha’atzmaut, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day.
In addition to the fun run, the event will feature a photobooth, a balloon twister, glitter tattoos, and even fairy hair – in other words, something for everyone, ensuring a memorable day for families to create lasting memories.
Run, Roll, Stroll is part of JFS’s Spring Into Healthy Living campaign, an annual initiative aimed at raising awareness about the pressing issues facing the community. The event also serves as JFS’s primary fundraiser, helping support vital services for those in need.
Funds raised through Run, Roll, Stroll go directly to JFS programs that assist individuals and families, including helping to combat food insecurity, providing safe transportation for seniors to medical appointments, and ensuring that counseling services are accessible to all who need them.
Participants and sponsors of the event make tangible differences in the lives of those in need in Tidewater.
