Steps for Healing 5K Supporting CBC
The Steps for Healing 5K is a remembrance run/walk held at Zoo Miami (12400 SW 152 Street, Miami, FL 33177) to raise funds for the Children's Bereavement Center (CBC). CBC provides free grief support groups for children, teens, and adults in South Florida.
Options include in-person participation at Zoo Miami, a virtual 5K, and a spectator entry. In-person participants receive timed run/walk services, all-day admission to Zoo Miami, a race t-shirt, continental breakfast, access to a Kids Corner with activities, a live DJ, and medals for kids and top finishers. The event includes a kids' finish-line with medals and an awards ceremony for top finishers. Spectator access covers Asia Field and the start/finish area plus all-day admission and family activities.
Virtual participants can complete the 5K on a flexible schedule, use the RaceJoy app for tracking and results, receive a digital race bib and a race t-shirt delivered after the event, and access CBC memorial activities. All participants may create customizable fundraising pages; fundraising supports CBC services and one stated goal is that every $1,680 raised funds one child’s year of free grief support.
Limited volunteer opportunities and community service hours are available for high school students; volunteers attend a one-hour orientation the week of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
