We are thrilled to invite you to this year’s Run as One: 5K to Fight Hunger, a community event uniting Manara Academy, Valley Ranch Islamic Center (VRIC) and Islamic School of Irving (ISI) 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 and ISI 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, VRIC and ISI.

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.
