Why We Race in 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.
Monthly Donor = 50% OFF REG!
Our 'Champions for Every Child' monthly giving community will give healthcare to 30,000 children each year.
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 over 300,000 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.
Your $25.00 monthly donation can give uninsured children access to checkups every year.
