The Finley’s Smile 5K & Smile Mile is great for families, as well as those looking to set their next PR! The event takes place at Liberty Park in Powell, Ohio, on a soft gravel path and consists of a 5K and 1 mile(ish) walk/run. All race participants receive a race shirt and medal!

Finley Grace Hollinger was born with Leigh’s Disease, a mitochondrial disease. In her short life with us, she taught us three important lessons which can be summarized as “Love, Play & Smile.” The Finley’s Smile 5K and Smile Mile is the primary fundraiser for the nonprofit organization, Finley’s Smile.

The goal of Finley’s Smile is to provide fun, authentic and meaningful experiences to children, while encouraging families to spend time together. In past years, Finley’s Smile has developed a Games in Schools program, within several libraries in Worthington Schools. Finley’s Smile has also helped to provide funding for a family play space at the Delaware YMCA, a community art event with the Boardman Arts Park, community gardening programs with Together We Grow Gardens, programs for children in foster care with Caring for Kids, obstacles at Gators Bike Park, a community mountain bike park, playground space at Harvest Hills Ministries, as well as many other wonderful organizations over the past 5 years – totaling over $57,000.

The Finley’s Smile 5K & Smile Mile also serves as our celebration of Finley’s birthday, and will include some fun children’s activities, including face painting, and of course birthday cupcakes! We are looking forward to having you join us for this fun-filled, family friendly event!

New this year! Instead of receiving a race shirt, you now have the choice to upgrade to a hoodie for just $15! If you’d like to take advantage of this offer, simply choose the size Hoodie you’d like during the giveaway selection section of checkout. This is an optional upgrade, and if you prefer to keep your race shirt, simply choose the shirt size you’d like.

If you are unable to join the in-person event this year, grab your team wherever you are and run to help us celebrate Finley. **Includes race shirt and medal hand delivered or shipped to registrant.**

About Autism

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. We now know that there is not one autism but many sub-types, and each person with autism can have unique strengths and challenges. Most forms are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental influences, and many are accompanied by medical issues such as intestinal issues, seizures and sleep disturbances. An estimated 1 in 36 children in the U.S. is on the autism spectrum.

On June 21st at Sawyer Point in Cincinnati, we will hold the 3rd Annual “Run for Chief” race in honor of Jaden Woodard. Jay Chief, as he was often called, was born with a heart defect and underwent multiple heart surgeries by the age of two. At 11, his heart began to fail, and he required a heart transplant. In 2014, as a freshman at Summit, he received his new heart at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and was able to thrive socially and academically in the years following his surgery. He also ran for Summit’s cross country and track teams which is an extraordinary feat given his condition.

Jay Chief graduated from Summit in 2018 and attended The Ohio State University as a finance major. Jaden interned at JPMorgan Chase Bank in New York City before the start of his senior year of college where he had the time of his life and made some of his closest friends.

Jaden passed away on September 12, 2021 at the age of 21 after complications with his new heart. The proceeds will continue to be donated to families at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital who have children receiving heart transplants just like Jaden did.

Heart transplants are expensive, with an average cost of $1,670,000 before insurance, and families face additional costs such as long drives, hotel stays, and hospital food. Our goal is to alleviate a portion of that financial stress through our donations while also bringing a smile to the faces of the patients! Jaden’s legacy and positive impact continues to live on through the “Run for Chief” race through this race and the donations made at Cincinnati Children’s Heart Institute.
