Joy Run 2026: You Showed Up.
Last Saturday, May 9, the Joy Meadows community came out and came through.
A record, 555 participants. Across 55 teams, families, friends, and first-timers tackled obstacles, got muddy, and crossed the finish line together—all in support of children and families impacted by foster care.
This year's standouts:
🏆 Most Team Members (tied): Team Hovey (Kameron Kelly) & Freeman Family and Friends (Nicole Freeman) — 42 participants each
🏆 Top Fundraising Team: Team Hovey (Kameron Kelly)
🏆 Top Individual Fundraiser: Sarah Papa
Congratulations to each of you, and thank you for rallying people around this mission.
We're not done yet.
Thanks to your generosity, we've raised $92,671, which is 92.6% of our goal. We are so close. Every dollar beyond that finish line goes directly toward the programs and support that keep foster families from walking this road alone.
If you haven't given yet, or want to give again, it’s not too late.
Relive the day.
The smiles, the mud, the moments.
Thanks again to our sponsors.
Joy Run doesn't happen without the businesses and organizations who invest in this community. A huge thank you to:
