Ribbons, Pounds, Raffles & Signs

The Big Beautiful Life Run, Walk & Roll is about more than just a 5K—it’s about the "Heavy Lift" we do together to stabilize families in medical crisis. Whether you are participating in person or supporting from afar, these add-ons allow you to leave a visible mark of compassion on our Village.

🎗️ Ribbons of Resilience ($5.00)

Wear your intent. Join the Lines of Support. These ribbons represent the invisible threads of compassion and practical support that connect us all. Purchase a ribbon to wear during your 5K or 1.2K, and after you cross the finish line, join us to add it to our "Lines of Support".

Choose Your Color: Select your ribbon at the registration station to represent your mission—whether it’s to stabilize a family, bring practical comfort, or move in memory of a resilient soul.

🚩 Route of Resilience Signs ($50.00)

Line the path with encouragement. Purchase a 12 x 18 yard sign with a custom message (e.g., "Keep Going, Team Smith!" or "In Honor of [Name]"). These line the 5K course, providing a physical wall of encouragement for all participants

⚖️ Buy a Pound ($2.00)
