Walk Together, Heal Together: Join Us for Steps for Healing
On November 15, 2025, Zoo Miami will transform into a canvas of hope and healing as the Steps for Healing 5K Walk/Run takes place. This uplifting event not only offers a chance to enjoy the scenic surroundings but importantly, it raises funds for the Children’s Bereavement Center (CBC), a vital nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free grief support for families coping with loss.
Why Participate? The Importance of Community Support
This event coincides with Children’s Grief Awareness Month, amplifying its significance. By coming together, participants create a powerful message of support, transforming every step into a beacon of hope for grieving children and families in Southeast Florida. Whether you choose to join in person or virtually via the RaceJoy app, this is an opportunity to embrace community and solidarity.
A Day of Fun and Healing
From 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM, the day will be filled with activities for all ages. Participants and spectators alike can enjoy:
- All-Day Admission to Zoo Miami
- A complimentary continental breakfast
- A lively Kids' Corner filled with activities
- Race day t-shirts for all participants and special medals for children under 10
- Live music and entertainment, enhancing the festive atmosphere
Building a Legacy of Support
Mark your calendars—this is more than just a race. For every step taken and each dollar raised, you provide vital resources for the CBC to continue their essential programs. By participating, you’re ensuring no one faces their grief alone, highlighting the immense strength found in community connections. Registering is easy, with options for in-person participation or a flexible virtual format that allows you to choose when and where to complete your 5K.
Fundraising: Helping Kids Through Their Grief Journey
Participants have the unique option to set up customizable fundraising pages, encouraging friends and family to support the cause. Did you know that for every $1,680 raised, one child can attend free grief support groups for an entire year? This small act of kindness can provide a child with the tools they need to navigate their grief journey, fostering resilience and hope.
Let’s Make a Difference!
Join us as we lace up our shoes and walk (or run) in honor of lost loved ones, and collectively support those who need it most. With the 5K fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to register and rally your friends and family. Engage in this positive community experience, and transform your participation into lasting change.
