Daniel A. Saldaña 5k

Join us for a meaningful and energizing 5K dedicated to raising awareness for epilepsy, supporting students, and honoring the lives of those lost to SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). This event brings together runners, walkers, families, and community members united by compassion, remembrance, and hope.

We proudly run in honor of those whose lives were cut short by SUDEP, ensuring their stories are never forgotten while working toward a future where epilepsy is better understood and lives are saved.

Proceeds from this event will directly benefit Daniel’s Closet at STC Technology Campus, providing essential clothing and support for students so they can feel confident and prepared for success. In addition, funds raised will help provide scholarships for students pursuing careers in the technology field—empowering the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders.

Every step you take helps raise awareness, support those affected, and create opportunities for students to thrive. Whether you're running in memory of a loved one, supporting the cause, or simply giving back, your participation makes a lasting impact.

Together, we honor, we support, and we build brighter futures.
