What is Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer? Infinite Love is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) foundation that raises money to directly support childhood cancer fighters and their families and to fund new pediatric cancer research. The Tutu Trot is one of our main events to raise money, but we fundraise and support families year-round.

Since 2013 Infinite Love has funded over $2.8 million in research and has provided financial assistance, wish fulfillment, and special projects for dozens of families, thanks entirely to the generosity of our supporters and sponsors.

Infinite Love is entirely volunteer-run and has no office space and very little overhead, so donations go right to where they need to -- families and researchers. You can learn more at infiniteloveforkids.org

On June 6th, our community comes together not just to run or walk, but to remember. The Westlake Veterans Club invites you to honor the courage, sacrifice, and unity shown on D‑Day by joining us for a military‑themed 5K run and 2K walk. And will have designated sections named after the 5 landing sites- Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno and Sword. Both the 5K and 2K courses are on the beautiful, flat roadways surrounding the golf course with the start and finish lines at the world class clubhouse! Proceeds will enable the continuing philanthropic donations the Westlake Veterans Club provides to veteran and community causes in the Greater Ocean County area.

Adding to the fun atmosphere of the day will be a military ceremony with color guard, music, and refreshments.
