Springburst 10K & Kids One-Mile Fun Run

The Rene G. Haley Initiative giving season begins with our Spring Fundraiser.

Please join us for our 4th Annual “I Don’t Give A 5K” walk/run fundraiser on Sunday, April 26.

We always have a great time, and it’s a family-friendly event with competitive participants and exciting results. The race goes on, rain or shine, and we have a great time, no matter the weather.

We aim to raise $10K or more to support our community programs like the RGHI Annual Holiday Toy Drive, Fall School Coat Drive, The Huddle, educational workshops for young adults, and the RGHI college scholarship fund. We continue to give back to the community in remembrance of Rene G. Haley, an avid sportsman participating in swimming, snowboarding, basketball, skateboarding, and flag football events in the DMV. We miss him and continue to honor his life by helping youth and young adults in the community.

Rene wasn’t a runner; as a matter of fact, he “didn’t give a 5K,” but he supported his mother through all her 5K and marathon runs. And he was a fast runner when he had to.

Each year we put on this event as a way to celebrate his birth date, April 30. As the years pass, we continue celebrating his life and unique spirit.

So please come as you are, walk or run, have fun, meet new people, and enjoy the beautiful trail as you support the Rene G. Haley Initiative. If you cannot join us for the 5K (Walk/Run), we would appreciate your donation.

Walk for Life: Honoring the Journey, Celebrating the Strength

Join us for the Walk for Life, a community-centered event dedicated to breast cancer survivors, caregivers, and the loved ones we hold in our hearts. This is more than just a walk—it’s a movement of hope, healing, and unity. Whether you’re walking in celebration, remembrance, or support, every step tells a story.

This is not a 5K or a race. It’s a peaceful, powerful walk that invites people of all ages and abilities to come together and make every step count. As we walk side by side, we honor the strength of those who’ve battled breast cancer, support those currently in the fight, and remember those we’ve lost with love and purpose.

Event Highlights Include:

• Survivor & Caregiver Recognition: A heartfelt moment to honor those who inspire us with their strength and resilience.

• Tribute Wall & Photo Area: Share a name, a message, or a memory in honor of someone special.

• Pink Lane: Visit health vendors, enjoy wellness screenings (including blood pressure checks), and gather information and support.

• Stretch & Snack Zone: Warm up, cool down, and refuel with healthy bites.

• Kid Zone: Face painting, balloons, and activities to keep little walkers smiling.

• Motivation: Uplifting messages, and a community vibe you’ll never forget.

Whether you walk for a friend, a family member, yourself, or the future—you walk with purpose.

You walk in faith.

You walk with us.

Register Today! Early bird registration ends August 16th. Don’t miss the chance to be part of something meaningful.

Walk for Life—because together, we are stronger.

For Survivors

If you are a breast cancer conqueror, please submit an information form so that we may properly honor you.
