This year’s race really hit new heights—over the last ten years, events like this one have brought in more than $650,000 for the infertility community, and the Cade Foundation has awarded over 55 family-building grants.
Camila Jones, the CEO of the Cade Foundation, expressed her excitement by saying, “I was overwhelmed by the turnout. It’s incredible to see so many families united to OVERCOME infertility.” She also thanked the clinic for being such a reliable partner in this cause.
This year, the race took place for the first time at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, attracting over 650 participants. Besides the 5K run and walk, there was a Family Fun Run and a playground packed with activities for kids. You can imagine how lively it was!
And let’s not forget about the treatment raffle! Participants had a chance to win $10,000 toward fertility treatments at any of the clinic’s 22 locations. A lucky patient from the Baltimore Harbor office took home the grand prize this year.
Frank Richards, a doctor from the clinic, shared his thoughts: “The Maryland Race for the Family is a fantastic way to connect with patients and staff while rallying support for the infertility community.” If you’re interested in exploring more about fertility options or scheduling an appointment, check out this helpful resource.
