A Letter to the Lakeview 5K Sponsors, Participants, Vendors & Volunteers:
Because of YOU, the 2026 Lakeview 5K was an overwhelming success. From the moment the first participants arrived until the final finishers crossed the line, the park was filled with energy, excitement, and the unmistakable spirit of community.
Year after year, this event continues to grow, and that's only possible because of the amazing people who rally around NJID's mission. Whether you sponsored, volunteered, participated, donated, or cheered from the sidelines, you helped create a day that brought people together for a meaningful cause.
To our generous sponsors, thank you for investing in our mission and helping us make an even greater impact. Your partnership is the foundation of this event's success and allows us to continue serving individuals and families throughout our community.
To our volunteers, thank you for your dedication, enthusiasm, and countless hours of support. Your commitment ensured a safe, welcoming, and memorable experience for everyone in attendance.
And to every runner, walker, family member, and supporter - thank you for showing up and making this event so special. The Lakeview 5K is more than a race; it's a celebration of inclusion, compassion, and the power of a community coming together.
Most importantly, thank you for helping us support more than 1,500 infants, children, and adults whose lives are enriched through NJID's programs and services.
Your generosity and participation make a lasting difference.
Together, we've made this year's event our biggest and best yet and we're already looking forward to making next year even more extraordinary.
