4th Annual Kevin Bonilla Tribute Run
Come Run, Walk, Eat, and Celebrate Kevin!
Saturday, September 6, 2025 | Brooklyn Bridge Park
Join us for the 4th Annual Kevin Bonilla Tribute Run—a day to run, walk, eat, drink, and celebrate the life and legacy of Kevin Bonilla. This year, we are proud to partner with Girls on the Run NYC (GOTR NYC), an organization that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident through a fun, experience-based curriculum that integrates running and personal development.
Kevin Bonilla lived life with heart—fully, fearlessly, and with deep empathy. He embraced adventure, cherished his family and friends, and took pride in immersing himself in everything life had to offer. Kevin was authentic, compassionate, and generous—always lifting others up and leading with love.
On September 6th, 2025—what would have been Kevin’s 35th birthday—we invite you to join Kevin’s family, friends, and community in Brooklyn to honor his memory and spirit. Let’s celebrate his life in a way he would have loved: surrounded by laughter, connection, and purpose.
This milestone year, our goal is to raise $35,000 for Girls on the Run NYC—a meaningful tribute to Kevin’s 35th birthday. Every donation helps: just $35 provides a pair of running shoes for a young girl in the program. Your support helps amplify Kevin’s legacy by empowering the next generation.
Why Girls on the Run NYC?
GOTR NYC is a transformative after-school program for girls in grades 3–8 that builds confidence, connection, and healthy habits through running-based activities and social-emotional learning.
Partnering with schools across New York City, GOTR NYC provides a research-backed curriculum, trained coaches, and all necessary materials to deliver a 10-week program focused on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Lessons cover key life skills like self-esteem, empathy, goal setting, and teamwork—while encouraging joyful movement and personal growth.
Each season ends with a city-wide, non-competitive 5K that gives girls a powerful sense of accomplishment and community. This celebration marks more than just a finish line—it reflects persistence, resilience, and empowerment.
GOTR NYC is committed to equity and access. No girl is turned away due to financial need, and your support helps ensure all girls—especially those from underserved communities—can participate and thrive.
Let’s make Kevin’s 35th birthday unforgettable. Come out and run, walk, donate, and celebrate in his honor.
Donate today. Share the love. Keep Kevin’s spirit moving forward.
