Big smiles, incredible energy, and a community running for a cause!

Run for Club Kids 2026 brought runners, walkers, families, and supporters together at Rosedale Park on Saturday for a day filled with excitement, connection, and community spirit!

With 78 registered participants and more than 40 Club members joining the festivities, the day was a meaningful reminder of the community support behind our mission.

But the impact goes far beyond race day. Every step taken and every dollar raised helps create opportunities for local children and teens to learn, grow, and pursue their dreams.

A special thank-you to our generous sponsors for helping make this year's event possible!

Leadership Partners: NJM and Sheehy & Molinelli

Community Partners: Capital Health and Thomas Sherry

Advocate Partners: PNC Bank, MUFG, Merodie Hancock, and Daniel Randall

We're also grateful to our other sponsors, volunteers, event partners, participants, and everyone who supported Run for Club Kids. Your generosity and enthusiasm made the day possible, and your impact will continue long after the finish line!

Here's to making every step count for our Club kids!

Making a difference, one bike at a time!

The volunteers behind the Boys & Girls Club Bike Exchange and Princeton Ebikes are doing amazing things for young people across Mercer County!

Over the past 17 years, the Bike Exchange has raised an incredible $2.25 million to support Boys & Girls Clubs of Mercer County, while Princeton eBikes contributes tens of thousands of dollars each year to support our Club Kids.

And their impact goes beyond fundraising! Through the Lawrence Hopewell Trail's Spokes & Skills program, local children can learn to ride bikes, practice bicycle safety, and build confidence at no cost, with bicycles provided by the Bike Exchange.

We recently brought together volunteers and community partners for a festive fall picnic at Rosedale Park to celebrate their contributions! During the gathering, Andrew Hamlin presented a commemorative plaque to our President & CEO Reginald Coleman, Ira Saltiel of the Bike Exchange, and Russ White of Princeton eBikes.

Here's to the incredible impact of these volunteers and many more miles ahead!

What if your next bike could help local kids, too?

At Princeton Ebikes, buying a bike can have an impact beyond the ride. All profits benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Mercer County, helping provide programs and opportunities for young people throughout our community.

Founded by longtime cyclist and entrepreneur Russ White, Princeton eBikes combines a love of cycling with a commitment to giving back. Customers can explore e-bikes that make it easier to travel farther, tackle hills or simply enjoy a little extra assistance along the way, all while shopping with a business built around a larger mission.

We’re incredibly grateful to Russ and the Princeton eBikes team for turning their passion for cycling into ongoing support for our Club and the young people we serve.

Every young person has something worth saying, and having the confidence to share it can open new possibilities.

Through Own the Mic, a 12-week communication and confidence-building program founded by Djenaba Figueroa, Club teens had the chance to practice speaking up, sharing their ideas and becoming more confident communicating with others.

Students took part in storytelling, public speaking, writing, role-playing, mock job interviews, improvisation and other interactive activities. Along the way, they practiced skills they can use when talking with teachers and adults, interviewing for a job, taking on leadership opportunities and navigating everyday conversations.

And that confidence didn't stop when the program ended. Students shared that they felt more comfortable speaking with adults, interviewing for jobs and pursuing leadership opportunities. Several even looked for more opportunities to continue speaking in the community!

We’re grateful to Djenaba for helping our teens strengthen their communication skills, build confidence and recognize the power of their own voices.
