12th Annual Greta's Run for Imagine

Be 1 of the 500!

Greta’s Run for Imagine is an official USATF 5K sanctioned race and a Kids Fun Run followed by a Memory Walk – where you can walk in memory of someone who has died. There will be live music from the band Southpaw and the event will end with a Dove Release.

Greta’s Run for Imagine is hosted by Imagine,
A Center for Coping with Loss – a free grief support center for children and families located in Mountainside, NJ. All proceeds will support children, teens and adults coping with grief.

This year, we’re asking 500 people to raise $500 in support of Greta’s Run 5K & Memory Walk on May 18th. Your efforts will help Imagine reach our $250,000 goal so that we can open another night of support for children and families who are grieving. We want to ensure that no child or family has to grieve alone.

  • a heart inclined to serve, and
  • the ability to be with children and adults in grief
