NJ Sharing Network 5K Celebration of Life
The event is a community 5K held on June 7, 2026, at the NJ Sharing Network Headquarters in New Providence, New Jersey. The in-person program includes a USATF sanctioned race and a 5K walk. The event frames itself as a celebration of the gift of life through organ and tissue donation and highlights team fundraising and personal stories connected to donation and transplantation.
A virtual participation option called 5K Anywhere runs from May 1 through June 7. Virtual participants receive a personal fundraising page, a digital bib, a unique link to log their time, and an event shirt that is distributed after June 7. Event materials available include site, parking, and course maps.
The 5K Celebration of Life began in 2011 at the same headquarters. Fundraising is a documented component of the event; current figures show $869,541 raised toward a $1,250,000 goal. Sponsorship opportunities are listed for the 2026 event and a presenting sponsor is acknowledged. The event presentation emphasizes partnership with the donation and transplantation community and the role of teams in sharing stories related to donation.
