Move for Life 2026
Date: Saturday, May 9, 2026
Location: The Junction Center, Manheim
We’d love to see you on Saturday, May 9, 2026, as we gather together on The Junction Center grounds for another year of championing life through our Move for Life: Walk, Run, Plus!
Families and friends of all ages are invited to participate in our biggest fundraising event of the year through walking a scenic 1-mile walk or running a competitive 5K with official chip timing by 2L Race Timing. One you register as a runner or walker, ask your friends and family members to support the mission of Align by sponsoring you per mile or lump sum. Following the Walk and 5K, enjoy a celebration that includes a fun zone, live worship, awards, food trucks, a client testimony, and more.
Prizes are awarded to all fundraisers who raise $50 or more. The more you raise, the more prizes you’ll receive — all to help us provide life-affirming support to pregnant, parenting, and abortion recovery clients and their families!
If you’d like to volunteer at the event, we always need help with setup, parking, registration, refreshments, tear down, and more. Free breakfast and coffee are provided for the setup crew, and ALL volunteers receive a free event t-shirt! Please contact Erica at EAllgyer@AlignLifeMinistries.org or 717.274.5128 x 315 if interested.
If you are a local business and would like to support this growing regional gathering of pro-life families for a great cause, consider becoming a Move for Life corporate sponsor. Your gift helps offset the cost of this event so that funds raised can directly support God’s sacred work through Align. For more information, see the “Corporate Sponsor” section below or contact Shonna at SShope@AlignLifeMinistries.org or 717-274-5128 x 301.
