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

Volunteers are needed on race day! If you or a family member would like to volunteer please complete a registration here: https://runsignup.com/Race/Volunteer/NJ/FairHaven/GirlontheRun5KFairHaven
