Goal Sam’s Fans 5k 2018: $40,000 & 500 participants

Proceeds from the race will go towards our continued goal of promoting and enhancing music and art therapy programs for seriously ill children and their families.

Fundraising

We are doing something new this year by allowing you to create a personal fundraiser on a webpage called Crowdrise. You can help us fundraise an extra $10,000 this year through it. Scroll down to learn more!

Here's How It Works

Step 1

Register and customize your personal fundraising page by adding photos, a video and story text abut why you're so passionate about the cause.

Step 2

Email your friends and family telling them about your fundraiser and share your link on social media asking everyone to donate. Be bold, it's for a good cause.

Step 3

Fundraise like crazy to raise as much money as possible. Your personal page collects your fundraising totals together in one place; your overall impact.
