L.A. CADA Dream Run 5K
The L.A. CADA Dream Run 5K is a community event held in South El Monte, California. The event is organized as a nonprofit initiative to support the Youth Scholarship Fund, which provides resources for education and leadership opportunities for young people. This event is rooted in a mission to improve community health outcomes and provide access to recovery and healthcare services.
Participants can choose between two participation formats:
- 5K in-person run
- Virtual 5K race
The proceeds from the event are directed toward the Youth and Family Services Department. This department provides specific support for adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 who are dealing with substance use and mental health challenges. Services funded by the event include school-based prevention programs, early intervention, and both outpatient and intensive outpatient mental health support.
Beyond direct clinical services, the organization facilitates broader community programs. These include family workshops, prevention coalitions, and youth leadership initiatives such as Jóvenes Speak Up, which focuses on training peer advocates. The physical event takes place at 555 Durfee Ave. and emphasizes the values of compassion and perseverance through community athletics.
