Our History

Our founders Barbara and JP Pinocchio started Moms on the Run in 1999 after Barbara’s sister, Debra, passed away from breast cancer. Their family witnessed the physical and emotional difficulties that came with the diagnosis, including the financial hardships it caused. The Pinocchio’s put on a “little race” in hopes of raising $1,000 for a local woman battling breast cancer. That first race brought in over $100,000.

 

Today Moms on the Run's annual Mother's Day event is one of the longest running walks in our town with a lot of commuitny love and support making it possible for Moms on the Run to give back over $500,000 each year to women in our community. We also have 2 other main events throughout the year that help raise funds for our cause. Ride for the Tata's in September and King Pin Bowling in October 

 

All three of Moms on the Run Events boost a lot of fun, a lot of pink and a lot of great local people supporting a cause near and dear to so many of us.
