Before Joe’s Run, Walk and Roll, there was Joe Lubarsky. Joe, who has a mild condition of Cerebral Palsy, started a sit-up contest in 1975 to raise funds for United Cerebral Palsy during the annual telethon. In 1988, the sit-up contest transformed into a run, when Joe started receiving pledges to run 10 miles from home to work in the dead of winter. Over time, the event turned into the community run, walk and roll that it is today.

Broadscope Disability Services has been advancing opportunities for individuals with disabilities and their families for over 50 years throughout Southeast Wisconsin. We believe in a world where individuals with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else.

Broadscope serves over 1,000 individuals every year through our Employment, Independent Living and Respite Programs. 

Independent Living
Adults with disabilities receive individualized services to create opportunities for successful life in the community.

Employment
Adults with disabilities receive services to help secure and retain competitive employment. 

Respite
Broadscope coordinates funding for in-home respite care, so that individuals who care for someone with a disability are able to take a break. 

Joe's Run, Walk and Roll will host a FREE kiddo's Fun Run. The event is open to children under 10 and children of any age you feel would benefit from a shorter distance. It is free if a parent is participating in the 5K or walk (t-shirt not included for kid race registrants but can be purchased during registration)

This virtual option is a race that you can complete from any location, on any day and at any time.  Run, jog, walk or roll on your own time and pace.  This virtual race can help you with your movement goals and gives you a chance to give back to Broadscope Disability Services. 

Your Virtual Races participation fee includes a t-shirt and shipping cost.  **T-shirts will be mailed out in September.
