3rd Annual Dash for De’Jah 5k

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Dash for De’Jah 5k! Get ready to join us on Sat Sep 21,2024 at the scenic Lake Merritt in Oakland, CA 94612.

This event is all about having fun while supporting a great cause. Run or walk with us and help us with our mission, to help purpose driven college students like De'Jah with financial assistance to pursue their career, sports goals, and spiritual connections with Christ.

Our course will take you around Lake Merritt. You’ll be cheered on by our enthusiastic volunteers and fellow participants, making it an unforgettable experience.

If you can’t physically attend there is a donation option or you can participate virtually, but must purchase your ticket by August 23rd and your package will be shipped to you(shipping fees will be added).

You can also sponsor a student that would love to be a part of this race, but is not affordable for them, as they are students. Every effort counts.

Don’t miss out on the chance to be part of this amazing event! Register now and help us make a difference.

We've been able to give $10,000 each year to a college student to assist with tuition. This year we're hoping to raise more and we're broadening the qualifications to apply for the scholarship.

We will have a balloon release after the race to celebrate De’Jah’s birthday. There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners of the race for 3 male and 3 female.

$75 will include a medal, t-shirt, bag, and bracelet. You are guaranteed a Tshirt, but you must select your t-shirt size by 8/23/24 to get the size of your choice.

Hope to see everyone come out for this annual celebration to honor De’Jah!

Thank you in advance for your love and support
