About the Event

Pillars Inspires - Here Comes the Sun 5K/2K Run/Walk

Get ready to groove and move for a far-out cause as we come together to shine our light and spread hope for children battling cancer! Pillars of Wellness is proud to host its fourth annual 5K/2K Run/Walk benefiting Northwest Indiana Cancer Kids (NICK). As a provider of mental health and wellness services, we know that healing goes beyond the physical — it’s about mental and emotional strength, resilience, and the power of community. This year’s theme, "Here Comes the Sun," reflects the hope we strive to bring not only to children battling cancer but also to their families, caregivers, and all those facing life’s challenges. Movement, connection, and positivity play a crucial role in overall well-being, and this event is a chance to come together, support one another, and spread warmth where it's needed most.
