Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Dash & Bash: Supporting Pediatric Trauma Services at UF Health, will be on May 17th, 2025 from 8am-12pm at the University of Florida. This event will comprise of a 5K race around the University of Florida, passing by UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital, and a post-race “bash.” Along the race route, partners and community members will be engaging with you through “cheer zones.” In conjunction with the Pediatric Trauma Injury Prevention & Outreach team, we will be celebrating National Trauma Awareness Month at the post-race “bash.” The “bash” will have post-race entertainment and activities, as well as community safety partners. All participants will receive a finisher medal and t-shirt if they register by May 1.

Please consider joining us as a fundraiser for this event too! As a nonprofit hospital, UF Health Shands Children's Hospital relies on community support to deliver the world-class we are known for.

Every dollar raised ensures our hospital is well-equipped with the proper tools when children need them most.
