Virtual 5Ks and walkathons remain a creative and accessible way to raise funds and awareness for diaper need, especially when community members are spread out geographically.

Why a Virtual Run?

Virtual runs allow participants to join from anywhere while staying healthy and engaged. They also create buzz through social sharing and digital engagement.
