We hope you will join us to support disability awareness + raise funds for operating costs for The Lily Pad Cafe by participating in the 13th Annual Leap 4 The Lily Pad (formerly Run Up for Downs) on April 12, 2025 at the Methodist Rehabilitation Center Green Space in Ridgeland, MS!
ALL proceeds will go towards operational costs of The Lily Pad Cafe. The Lily Pad provides training and internship opportunities for adults with intellectual & developmental disabilities. We equip these men & women with the tools necessary to obtain employment by local businesses so that they can not only achieve their full potential, but display to the community their abundant talents and abilities. With YOUR help, we have been able to raise over $750,000 to help bring The Lily Pad to fruition.
The 13th Annual Leap 4 The Lily Pad will kick off at the green space in front of Methodist Rehab in Ridgeland, MS with a fun run, a 5K run/walk, and a 0.0 race. Our Pepsi Food Tent is shaping up to one of our best featuring drinks courtesy of Brown Bottling Group + food from several local vendors!
Enjoy live music by The Lonely Hearts, a kid zone including a sensory tent, characters + much more!
