The Kids Cancer Foundation hosted its annual 5K Walk/Run in Loving Memory of Sebastian Sarmiento at Royal Palm Beach Commons Park on Saturday, Oct. 26.
The event attracted participants from all walks of life, along with generous sponsors and donors, all united to raise awareness and funds for children battling cancer.
This year’s event was enriched by a vibrant Fall Festival, featuring an array of engaging activities for families. Attendees enjoyed games and crafts facilitated by Arts for Smiles and the Wellington Art Society, while kids bounced around in an inflatable obstacle course and received face paintings by Tera Young.
Adding to the festive atmosphere, characters including Stormtroopers from the Everglades Squad, as well as Ariel and Moana from the Happy Princess Club, delighted young participants with their playful interactions.
Sebastian Sarmiento’s family, who have become cherished members of the Kids Cancer Foundation community, joined in with a large group of supporters, reminding all of the importance of love and connection in the face of adversity.
All participants in the 5K Walk/Run received participation medals, with special awards presented to the biggest team and various age groups, celebrating the efforts of all who took part.
The Royal Palm Beach-based nonprofit thanks Life.Church Wellington for their incredible turnout of volunteers, making the event run smoothly.
Christ Fellowship made a special appearance with their food truck, offering refreshing beverages, snacks and apple cider donuts that have become a fan favorite.
Additionally, heartfelt thanks to Anna Bakes for providing delicious cookie samples and Candid Coffee for keeping everyone energized.
The Kids Cancer Foundation extends its deepest gratitude to all participants, sponsors and volunteers who made the event possible. For more information about the Kids Cancer Foundation, visit www.kidscancersf.org.
