Woodward Park - Sunset View Shelter, Fresno CA
Saturday, June 7th, 2025
Join us on June 1st at Woodward Park at Sunset View Shelter to support the work Poverello House provides to those in need. Bring your family and friends to participate in the 10th Annual Papa Mike's Café Run for Meals 5k Run and 2-Mile Run/Walk. Proceeds will benefit the new Papa Mike's Café.
At Papa Mike’s Café, we are on a mission to offer more than just meals: we are dedicated to providing a restaurant-style experience for all individuals in our community. With a warm ambiance and attentive service, our goal is to make every visitor feel at home.
Papa Mike’s Café was inspired in 2006. The concept was to provide a special 3-course meal to clients, one meal a month, complete with menus and servers. Volunteers who were waiters and waitresses took the client’s orders and served them. Poverello House CEO, Zack Darrah, expanded this concept to provide a daily restaurant experience. This achievement was made possible through extensive planning meetings and a comprehensive renovation of our kitchen, generously supported by the County of Fresno. Additional gratitude goes to the St. Augustine Foundation, Isnardi Foundation, and the entire community, whose contributions played a crucial role in bringing this project to fruition.
Guests will enter the restaurant and have the option to choose from a menu offering 3-5 delectable meal options, accompanied by a choice of refreshing Coca-Cola beverages.
The 2 Mile Run/Walk begins at 8:00 AM, and the 5K race starts at 8:15 AM.
