Information

Join Every Child Pediatrics for the 3rd Annual Champions for Children 5K + Fun Run, a fun and inspiring event designed to bring our community together in support of Colorado’s uninsured children. Whether you’re an avid runner, a casual walker, or simply want to enjoy a day of family-friendly activities, there’s something for everyone at this event!

Every Child Pediatrics is a Colorado 501(c)(3) non-profit organization on a mission to provide comprehensive health care to every child, regardless of their circumstance, insurance status, or ability to pay. We are the largest safety net clinic for children in Colorado. We provide a Medical Home for children with complex life situations, and offer services to support their entire health and well-being. We see a high number of uninsured children, as well as children enrolled in Medicaid. We never turn a child away.

Why Commerce City?

Commerce City holds a special place in our hearts. Since 2020, Every Child Pediatrics has provided care to over 13,000 children in this community, with 10% being uninsured. By participating in this event, you’re directly supporting families in Commerce City and helping to bridge the gap for those without coverage.

Honor a True Champion

This event is dedicated to the memory of Kristen Maddoux, PA-C, an avid runner and a true “Champion for Every Child.” Kristen dedicated her career to caring for vulnerable children at Every Child Pediatrics, and her passion for running and helping others continues to inspire us. Join us in honoring her legacy as we work together to ensure that every child in Colorado has access to the care they need.

Become an Official Champion!

Access to healthcare is much more than a basic human need. It’s the foundation for improved health, education, and future opportunities. When children receive the care they need, families and communities thrive. Yet, for 211,000 children across Colorado, access to essential healthcare is still out of reach. The good news: A recurring gift of just $25 a month is enough to help us provide uninsured children with the care they need throughout the year.
