Sam's Rainbow Run

Sam’s Rainbow Run: Honoring a Legacy of Love and Kindness

I started Sam’s Rainbow Run as a way to honor Sam’s legacy and keep his spirit alive. Sam was passionate about helping those less fortunate. All proceeds from Sam’s Rainbow Run are donated to the CSU Pride Resource Center, which uses the funds to support students in need by assisting with tuition, housing, food, or other essentials. This event is not only a celebration of Sam’s life but also a meaningful way to spread love and kindness, values he held dear.

This year marks the fourth annual Sam’s Rainbow Run, and I am thrilled to see how it has grown. To make the event even more inclusive, we are adding a FREE Kids 1-mile run, creating an opportunity for families to come together in celebration of Pride and love for all people. It’s a fun and meaningful event that welcomes everyone—friends, families, and community members—all for a great cause.

Thank you for supporting Sam’s Rainbow Run and helping to keep his memory alive. Your participation and contributions not only celebrate Sam’s legacy but also make a tangible difference in the lives of CSU students in need.

Spread love and kindness,
