First-Year Spark Award - Everyone Who Showed Up
We tried and tried to identify one person for this award, but the truth is, everyone brought the spark in their own way. This year, the First-Year Spark Award belongs to every participant, family member, staff member, volunteer, donor, sponsor, vendor, friend, and community partner who helped bring this first Run Walk Roll to life.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING US START SOMETHING NEW

Thank you to everyone who joined us for New Hope Community’s first Run Walk Roll 5K at SUNY Sullivan.

What started as an idea from our staff and the people we support became a day filled with movement, connection, families, friends, staff, volunteers, vendors, sponsors, donors, and New Hope pride.

Together, we created the start of something new.

This first year was about so much more than a route or a finish line. It was about showing up for the people at the center of New Hope’s mission and building a community where everybody belongs.

IMPACT

Funds raised through the event support the work of the NHC Foundation and help create new opportunities for the people New Hope supports.

But the real power of this day is the community it builds.

Every registration, donation, team, sponsor, volunteer, and shared moment helped bring this first year to life and helped us begin building what comes next.

THANK YOU

To the people we support, thank you for bringing the joy, energy, courage, style, and spirit that made the day feel like New Hope.

To our families, thank you for showing up, cheering, supporting, and sharing the day with us.

To our staff, thank you for everything it took to help people attend, participate, and feel celebrated.

To our donors, fundraisers, sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and community partners, thank you for believing in this first year.

And to every friend of a friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, and guest who came because someone invited you, thank you for stepping into this community with us.

Because of you, we started something new.
