Corwin Nixon Park, Mason, OH

On June 7, 2025 we will be hosting our Annual LOVE like JJ 5k to benefit LOVE like JJ! This year’s event will again have both In Person and Virtual options, you can walk or run - however and wherever it works best for you! Our event was created to celebrate JJ's bright light, and fundraise so LOVE like JJ can continue spreading joy and supporting children in our community. 

Benefit:

Race proceeds will go to support the great work of LoveLikeJJ, a 501(c)(3) organization. Love like JJ believes the best investment we can make is in our children and to ensure they all have fulfilled basic needs and the opportunity to succeed. Their goal is to engage the local community and to provide practical support to bring lasting improvements to their lives. 

Money raised through the LOVE like JJ 5k will go toward continuing to support these initiatives, especially the opportunity to place 2 Service Dogs in local school systems with 1 additional Service Dog being the process of placement now at Mad River School District. This year we have a couple of Special Guests attending the LOVE like JJ 5k - Coleby, Mason Middle School Service Dog and Smoak, Lebanon High School Service Dog - both were provided to these amazing School Districts by LOVE like JJ through the generous support of the LOVE like JJ 5k! Please visit our website for complete details about our organization and how we make a positive impact on the lives of children within our community.
