In commemoration of the vibrant spirit of Luca Iacono, an 11-year-old Middletown student who touched the lives of many with his strength, athleticism, and wit, we have united over the past two years to organize the Love for Luca 5K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Run.  This event stands as a testament to Luca’s life and legacy, bringing together friends, family, classmates, educators, and community leaders in a celebration of unity and goodwill.

Since Luca heartbreakingly lost his life to Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer,  all 2024 race proceeds will once again be donated to the local non-profit organization Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer.  Operated entirely by volunteers, this organization assists with fulfilling pediatric cancer treatment research grants while also providing emotional and financial aid to children and families who are undergoing cancer treatment.

We are currently seeking companies with like-minded intentions: to foster community while working toward the common goals of ending childhood cancer and easing the burden of families affected by this disease. We hope that you will consider partnering with us for the 3rd Love for Luca 5K Run/Walk and Kids Race, which will be held on September 22, 2024, at Middletown High School North. By becoming a sponsor of our charity event, your company will not only demonstrate its commitment to philanthropy but will gain valuable community exposure.

Please refer to the below details to see how you can be a part of an event demonstrating how wonderful our community is as we celebrate and honor one of our own.

Please note that there is a credit card processing fee when signing up for sponsorship online. Sponsorship can also be performed by mail; if interested in this method or have any other questions, please contact Lauren at lirunwalk@gmail.com. 

*The deadline to have your company's logo on our race t-shirt and/or race signage is 8/23/2024!

Thank you for your support!
