Thank you for showing up and coming out for the Move For Every 1 Road Race this Sunday. This year, we had a jaw-dropping, eye-popping, record-breaking *drumroll please*…600+ team of movers, cheerer, donors, and volunteers!

On this beautiful spring day we had…
🏃‍♀️300 walkers/runners participating with Team Gilead
🙌235 Donors & Sponsors + 18 Fundraisers & 3 Teams raising over $60,000
🤝51 Volunteers helping at First Church, on the route, on the green or at the table
🚶🏻140 Gilead staff & Clients walking, running, or cheering
🏁 15 OAK HILL staff walking or running with Team Gilead
👩‍🎓33 Wesleyan University students including:
📣4 cheerleaders amping up our humungous team
🎺15 Pep Band members tooting their horns on the route
🍽6 lasagnas with seconds to go around
😱1 Grinch scaring everyone across the finish line

Thanks to the tremendous generosity of our donors, we also purchased 65 pairs of sneakers for any client who participated.

This was not just an event, it was a movement. Everyone on Team Gilead did their part because they believe in what we do, who we are, and how we belong in the community. That’s over 600 people with someone in their lives that has had or is experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. That’s over 600 people who might even have experienced one themselves. That’s over 600 people there for Team Gilead.

Thanks for coming out and answering enthusiastically: Who Will You Move For?

Calling all Gilead supporters!

We are looking for event, program, and client sponsors to support the Move for Every 1 Road Race.

We are looking for 12 more client sponsors and 6 more program sponsors. This event is truly special. In fact, a young man who graduated from receiving services with Gilead still asked to participate this year: "Make sure I get my Team Gilead shirt!"

Commit to a sponsorship by Monday, March 30th for recognition on our event day shirts!

Can we count you in? Please click here to make your sponsorship donation: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/gilead-community-services-inc/donate-to-team-gilead-road-race-2026
