Wildlight Run Wild: $5,000 Raised for Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County Foundation

Wildlight held its annual Run Wild 5K, 10K and Fun Run on Saturday, March 8th, drawing more than 1,000 registrants of all ages to the scenic community. The third annual event showcased Wildlight’s beautiful trails and neighborhoods, offering a unique running experience. Families enjoyed pre- and post-race activities including food trucks, a Kids' Zone, Mocama coffee, and live music from The Honey Badgers. The Wildlight YMCA provided warm-up sessions, and UF Rehab and Massage Theory offered post-race assessments and massages.

The event successfully raised $5,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County Foundation, directly supporting their mission to fund after-school and summer programs that provide community youth with a safe place to study, positive influences and leadership development.

“The donation from the Wildlight Run Wild event is a tremendous boost to our efforts at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County Foundation,” said Tanya Orr, development officer, Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County Foundation. “It fuels our mission to provide safe, impactful programs for local youth, ensuring they have the resources and support they need to thrive. We’re grateful for the support of the Wildlight community and the event sponsors."

The event was made possible thanks to the generous contributions of sponsors including Del Webb Wildlight, England-Thims & Miller (ETM), Exchange at Wildlight, PulteHomes, UF Health Wildlight, Vallencourt Construction Co. Inc., Xfinity Communities and Rayonier.
