Join Our Team
After completing the 5K together last year, this dynamic duo decided to up the ante! John is so excited to RUN FOR A REASON and will be pushing Holland in the Pittsburgh Half Marathon on May 3rd. Help us make every mile meaningful, if you feel so inclined by donating here. The donations will go directly to Casey's Clubhosue (formerly The Miracle League of the South Hills) as they continue to foster long standing traditions and progress towards new and exciting adventures. Casey's Clubhouse is growing at an impressive rate, so impressive that they are building a second field! Your donation will help make dreams like this continue to come true. Growth like this is huge for families like ours. You see, Casey’s Clubhouse isn’t just a place - for families like ours - it’s an entire existence. What exactly does that mean? It means for one day a week, we get to go to a baseball field that was specifically designed and meticulously built for kids who have different abilities and other needs…. Kids just like ours. And while we are there, we feel seen, safe and happy. We don’t feel different, left out or hesitant. We are so blessed to have such a special place like this right in our own backyard. We are so thankful for the memories we have made at the field and look forward to what is to come. The magic moments we have made on the field wouldn't be possible without the magic makers, like you! Thank you so much for your donation! We are so lucky to have you as a part of our village.

Description
There are two incredible opportunities to support both Casey’s Clubhouse and Always B Smiling, each working toward empowering athletes to achieve their dreams. Meet Destiny—a young athlete with a radiant smile and a zest for life. Born with special needs, she longed to cross the finish line of a marathon herself, a goal that once seemed impossible.
Casey’s Clubhouse Fundraiser
This year, Casey’s Clubhouse invites athletes and supporters of all levels to participate in various race events: the full marathon, half marathon, relay, 5K, Kid's Walk, Toddler Trot, and Pet Race. By running and raising funds for Casey’s Clubhouse participants directly support athletes with special needs, helping provide accessible sports opportunities and inclusive community engagement.
Always B Smiling Partnership Fundraiser
In a special collaboration, Casey's Clubhouse AND Always B Smiling are raising funds to expand its adaptive stroller marathon program, which allows athletes like Destiny to experience the thrill of crossing the finish line. By running or supporting this program, donors help make marathons accessible for athletes who would otherwise watch from the sidelines.
The adaptive stroller relay teams are working together to raise funds for both amazing south hills programs. Last year, 6 athletes like Destiny took on the full marathon in their adaptive strollers, each feeling the power of community and inclusion.
By supporting either Casey’s Clubhouse, Always B Smiling, or both, you’re joining a powerful community dedicated to making dreams possible.
Let's run together—every step supports a dream!
Your contribution to an adaptive stroller relay team will help us as we continue to grow and support programs for the kids and adults with special needs across the south hills of Pittsburgh and beyond.
