Turning Pain Into Purpose — One Step at a Time

📅 April 11, 2026

📍 Alexander Park | Lawrenceville, GA

⏰ 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Join us for a powerful day of movement, remembrance, and community impact. Partnership for Purpose Day honors lives lost and supports families through education, awareness, and prevention. Together, we turn pain into purpose — one step at a time.

💜 WHY WE RUN

This event is hosted by The Marquavies Bernard Broughton Foundation, Inc., in partnership with Hope Dealer Outreach created in honor of my son, Marquavies “Qua” Broughton. A community-centered 5K Walk/Run uniting families, advocates, survivors, and supporters in the fight against fentanyl and nitazene poisoning.

Our mission is to save lives through education, prevention, and community support. This race represents hope, healing, and unity for families impacted by substance use loss. Every registration and donation helps us expand outreach, provide resources, and advocate for safer communities.

✨ Special Recognition:

Jasper Watkins III will officially proclaim April 11, 2026 as “Partnership for Purpose Day,” recognizing the collective impact of community-led action and lifesaving awareness.
