🦊 Run for a Reason

Love Smiles is excited to welcome our community back for the 5th Annual Fox Trot 5K Run & Walk!

What started as a small community event has grown into a meaningful tradition bringing together families, runners, walkers, volunteers, and supporters who believe in spreading kindness and making a difference.

This event helps support the mission of Love Smiles — providing comfort, support, and moments of joy to children and families facing difficult journeys.

Whether you run, walk, sponsor, donate, or cheer from the sidelines, every participant helps us continue creating smiles that matter.
