Broward Children’s Center to Host the 22nd Annual Miles for Smiles 5K on Nov. 15
November 15, 2025 @ 8:00 am - 4:00 pm
$15 – $35
Broward Children’s Center will host its 22nd Annual Miles for Smiles 5K at Pompano Beach Community Park on Saturday, Nov. 15. Runners, walkers, families, community leaders, wheelchairs and strollers of all ages will come together in the beautiful Pompano Beach Community Park to raise funds and awareness to support Broward Children’s Center.
The event will feature a family-friendly 5K, children’s activities, live entertainment, raffles, an awards ceremony and more.
During the event, Broward Children’s Center executives will present the latest care innovations and technological upgrades at the facility, including new integrations of advanced ventilator systems, Masimo patient monitoring, and PointClickCare software. These upgrades now allow for connected, real-time patient monitoring and offsite physician access to medical histories, capabilities unique to Broward Children’s Center among freestanding pediatric care facilities in Florida.
Children receiving care at Broward Children’s Center, including those in electric wheelchairs, will participate in the 5K route with assistance from more than 40 volunteers representing the International Institute for Health Care Professionals and Broward College’s Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) Program. Volunteers will help wheel participants and support race-day logistics.
Miles for Smiles will benefit Broward Children’s Center, a nonprofit organization that has been serving infants, children, and young adults with special needs since 1971. Proceeds will support Broward Children’s Center’s crucial programs and medical, developmental, and therapeutic services designed to meet the specific needs of infants, children and young adults who are developmentally disabled and medically fragile and their families.
Participants can join the event as an individual or a team and conduct online fundraising prior to race day. Miles for Smiles race day check-in opens at 8 a.m. and the 5K will begin at 9 a.m. After the race, an awards ceremony and a raffle will take place.
