🏃‍♂️ Kennedy Kids Foundation 3rd Annual 5K Presented by Amerant Bank

Come join us for our annual 5K Run, presented by Amerant Bank and hosted at Barry University in Miami Shores! It’s the very neighborhood where our dear Kennedy Bailey grew up and made friends. This 5K RUN is open to all families, age groups, and abilities. We’ll be using real-time chip tracking technology from our amazing partner Split Second Timing & Wildside to monitor all results and standings. Cash prizes for the 1st place male and female athlete! 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed male and female medals in each age division! Post-race party for all!

❤️ In Memory of Kennedy

This race was the brainchild of Sienna Alvarez-Coia, a childhood friend of Kennedy’s who wanted to create this race in her honor. Sadly, Kennedy struggled with depression due to a mental health crisis and passed away on Thursday, September 15, 2022. In her memory, our Kennedy Kids Foundation is dedicated to crowdfunding, fundraising, and developing programs and initiatives to prevent youth suicide.

  • Focus: Mental health and education
  • Goal: Increase help-seeking behavior
  • Vision: Equitable access to care
  • Mission: End the tragic epidemic and save lives
