The CKF's 5K for Life is an annual community event held at the Coffee Creek Preserve in Chesterton, Indiana. The gathering focuses on raising awareness for organ, eye, and tissue donation while demonstrating the possibilities created by transplants. Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome to take part in the event, which supports the goal of educating and inspiring individuals to register as donors.

Participants have phosphorus options for joining the activity:
