Cupcake Run Teams Challenge Delivers $3,200 in Grants to Schools!

Running for a cause. Teaming up for our schools. Making a difference!

The 2026 Cupcake Run for Public Education brought our community together for more than a fun morning of running, walking and cupcakes. Thanks to our Teams Challenge, participants also helped put much-needed resources directly into local schools!

Runners and walkers were encouraged to form teams in support of their favorite public school. For every 10 members on a team, that school earned a $100 grant to purchase recess and physical education equipment.

The results? An impressive $3,200 in grants awarded to 21 Tippecanoe County public schools!

Made possible through the generosity of two dedicated donors, the Teams Challenge gave participants another way to make their miles matter. Whether they ran, walked or simply joined a team to show their school spirit, every participant helped support opportunities for students to stay active, play and learn.

Congratulations to Our 2026 Teams Challenge Grant Recipients!
