    Griffin's Gift 10th Annual Road Race and Family Fun Day

    To celebrate Griffin's birthday, every year families are invited to Danvers High School to play, run, and enjoy the love of family! Please bring your children and your inner child and enjoy FREE water slides, bouncy houses, and so much more! We can't wait to see all your smiling faces as we celebrate Griffin and the gift of adoption!

    What is Griffin's Gift?

    Every family is unique. Each is built out of love. That love comes in many forms. For us, adoption was part of our family’s formation. Our first son, Griffin was born out of love on July 3, 2014.

    Adoption is an incredible journey that results in instant love. We believe any family who is committed to adopting a child should be able to make it a reality. We do not want finances to be the deciding factor for a family. Therefore, Griffin’s Gift provides zero-interest loans to families with a completed home study. Families are able to select the amount of money needed and the loan timeframe so that completing their family is financially attainable.

    Since the time we finalized Griffin’s adoption, we always wanted to create a non-profit program like Griffin’s Gift. We never imagined that it would become our son’s legacy. Nevertheless, we are grateful to all our supporters and we are tremendously proud of the work we are doing to honor Griffin’s life.

    Please note that the Family Fun Day begins at 4:00pm. The Kid's Fun Run is at 5:00pm and the 5k will begin at 5:30pm.

With a "no runner left behind" policy, a community of over 500 members, and a powerful lineup of their own signature races like the 26.TRUE Marathon, PIONEERS is a true lifestyle and a force for positive change.
