Manara Academy and Valley Ranch Islamic Center
Run as One: 5K to Fight Hunger
Saturday, December 13, 2025
We are thrilled to invite you to this year’s Run as One: 5K to Fight Hunger, a community event uniting Manara Academy and the Valley Ranch Islamic Center (VRIC) in a shared mission to make a meaningful impact. What began as Manara Academy’s annual 5K to bring families and community members together has now grown into a powerful partnership dedicated to combating hunger and uplifting those in need.
The Manara Academy Board continues to serve as the guiding force behind this cherished tradition. Their steadfast commitment to excellence reminds us that the discipline, perseverance, and consistency required to prepare for a 5K are the same qualities that drive success in life. We draw additional inspiration from Dr. Ehap Sabri, our Board President, whose personal marathon journey—sparked by a Manara teacher’s “Health and Fitness for Everyone” initiative—embodies our shared value of going the extra mile.
This year’s collaboration with VRIC represents the spirit of unity and service that defines both organizations. Together, we are running not just for fitness, but for a cause that matters—fighting hunger in our community.
We invite you to join us on this transformative journey of health, compassion, and hope. Through our combined efforts, we continue to strengthen our communities and live out the values that define Manara Academy and VRIC.
All proceeds from the Run as One: 5K to Fight Hunger will benefit Irving Cares and Meals for Humanity, supporting local families facing food insecurity.
