Run it Forward:
Strengthening Community Health Together
Your registration fee helps cover the essential operations that make this race possible. All donations and fundraising efforts directly support Valley Health Foundation and its work to strengthen community health. Questions about fundraising? Please reach out to starsandstrides@vhfca.org.
Every participant has the opportunity to make a difference—and compete for exciting rewards. Individuals can solicit donations from friends, family, colleagues, or ask if their work offers an employer donation match.
Every participant who raises a minimum of $200 in donations will receive a Stars and Strides sweatshirt. The individual who raises the highest total amount will win a 7-day trip for two to one of 6 tropical destinations in sunny Mexico!
Build a robust team and encourage your teammates to fundraise! Team fundraising totals are calculated by combining all individual contributions made to that team.
The team that raises the most overall will earn a hosted team lunch at Valley Health
Foundation or at your team’s headquarters—a chance to celebrate your collective effort and the impact you’ve made together.
***Some Restrictions may apply. Team lunch must be redeemed by 12/31/26 and will be hosted on a mutually agreed upon date, time, and location.
