🌼💀 WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY OF CULTURE, COMMUNITY & REMEMBRANCE! 💀🌼
The 3rd Annual Capital City Día de los Mu***os 5K Run/Walk was a SUCCESS, with a record 221 participants registered on a BEAUTIFUL Saturday afternoon! Our hearts are full, and we have so many people to thank! ❤️
A HUGE thank-you to our Presenting Sponsor, Feldman Chevrolet of Lansing, for helping make this celebration possible! Thank you to Consumers Credit Union, LAFCU, Industry Services, Hela's Kitchen, Northside Barbershop 2010, and JAM Clothing and Designs LLC, along with our Corporate Team Sponsors, MSU Federal Credit Union and TechSmith! Your support helped bring our community together while supporting the mission of Footprints of Michigan. 👟
👏 To our incredible volunteers: You showed up early, rolled up your sleeves, and knocked it out! Your time, energy, and dedication made this day possible. We are so grateful for each of you!
🎨 Margie and Brandy, our amazing face painters—you made this event even more colorful with your beautiful artwork and the smiles you brought to so many faces!
🌮🍰 Taco Hut, La Fajita, and Katelyn's Creations—thank you for the delicious food, yummy desserts, and that OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD strawberry lemonade! 🍓🍋
💃 El Grupo Fiesta and Greater Lansing Area Ballet Folklórico—thank you for your wonderful performances and for sharing the beauty, pride, and tradition of your culture with our community!
🌼 This event is about more than crossing a finish line. Día de los Mu***os is a Mexican tradition that honors loved ones who have passed away and keeps their memories alive through love, stories, music, and meaningful traditions. Sharing this celebration gives others the opportunity to learn, ask questions, and discover the meaning behind the marigolds, ofrendas, and colorful attire.
Learning about other cultures does not make you less American...it helps make you an even better American. When we take the time to understand and respect one another, we build a more welcoming, compassionate, and connected community.
To every participant and everyone who came out to enjoy the day, THANK YOU! Whether you ran, walked, cheered, danced, or simply took in the celebration, you helped make this our best year yet.
Next year—BIGGER AND BETTER! Until then, let’s keep honoring our loved ones, celebrating our cultures, and making a SOLEful footprint in the lives of others.
