On Saturday, November 16, Broward Children’s Center will host its 21st Annual Miles for Smiles 5K at Pompano Beach Community Park. This fun-filled event welcomes runners, walkers, families, community leaders, and individuals using wheelchairs and strollers to come together for a great cause—raising awareness and funds for Broward Children’s Center.
The day will feature a family-friendly 5K run/walk, children’s activities, live entertainment, raffles, and an awards ceremony. WPLG-ABC Anchor Nicole Perez will serve as the master of ceremonies, adding an exciting element to the festivities.
Proceeds from Miles for Smiles will benefit Broward Children’s Center, a nonprofit organization that has been supporting infants, children, and young adults with special needs since 1971. The funds raised will go toward the center’s essential programs, which provide medical, developmental, and therapeutic services for developmentally disabled and medically fragile children and young adults.
Participants can sign up individually or as part of a team and take part in online fundraising before race day. Check-in opens at 8 a.m., with the 5K kicking off at 9 a.m. An awards ceremony and a participant raffle will follow the race.
This event is a powerful opportunity for the community to unite in support of inclusion and Broward Children’s Center’s mission to provide life-changing services for children with special needs. Whether you’re an avid runner or simply want to contribute to a worthy cause, Miles for Smiles offers a fun and meaningful way to make a positive impact.
