Run Jen Run 5K

🏃‍♀️ 13th Annual Run Jen Run 5K & Festival

Date: March 8, 2025

Join us at Run Jen Run and help support local families facing the financial burden of a breast cancer diagnosis.

Proceeds: All proceeds benefit the Go Jen Go Foundation, a non-profit organization providing hope and critical support to families in the greater Charlotte area.

Support Provided: The funds help cover household expenses including housing, utilities, transportation, and groceries/essentials. The foundation also provides family support, sending children to camp and delivering gifts during the holiday season.

Founder's Background: Go Jen Go was founded by Joe & Jen Pagani, a Charlotte mom and Ironman athlete who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2014. Her legacy continues as we help cover the day-to-day finances so families can focus on their fight against breast cancer.
