Ignite the Future 5K & Fun Run is more than a race—it’s a movement to expand opportunity, access, and hope for students with autism and other special needs.
All proceeds from the event directly support the growth of Ignite Achievement Academy, helping fund the development of a new school building designed specifically to meet the sensory, learning, and therapeutic needs of our students. Funds raised will also provide critical scholarship opportunities, ensuring that families can access individualized, high-quality education regardless of financial circumstances.
Whether you’re running the 5K, walking with family, or cheering from the sidelines, your involvement helps ignite a future filled with possibility for students who deserve every opportunity to succeed.
Together, we can build brighter pathways—one stride at a time.
