29th Annual Dunn’s Run Breaks Record!
Community, purpose, and movement came together on Sunday, January 11, 2026, as Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County proudly hosted our 29th Annual Publix Supermarket Charities Dunn’s Run, presented by JM Family Enterprises. With the generous support of the City of Deerfield Beach, which opened its beach, parking lots, and roadways, the event welcomed over 1,200 participants and families for a morning filled with energy and connection.
This year’s event marked another exciting milestone, with a record number of vendors adding to the festive, family-friendly atmosphere, demonstrating that the legacy of Dunn’s Run continues to grow year after year.
At BGCBC, events like Dunn’s Run directly support our mission and our four core pillars: Academic Success, Workforce Readiness, Health & Well-Being, and Character & Leadership Development. Every step taken and every dollar raised helps ensure Club members have access to safe spaces, caring mentors, and programs that empower them to reach their full potential.
Events of this scale are only possible because of the dedication and collaboration behind the scenes. We are incredibly grateful to our fantastic committee, sponsors, volunteers, vendors, and BGCBC staff, whose early mornings, long hours, and unwavering commitment ensured a seamless and memorable experience for everyone involved.
We also extend our deepest appreciation to the partners who have helped build and sustain this long-standing tradition:
Event Founder: J.R. Dunn Jewelers
Event Chair: Tony Van Ness
Title Sponsor: Publix Supermarket Charities
Presenting Sponsor: JM Family Enterprises
We would also like to extend a special thank you to our largest participating team: HEW (Hard Exercise Works) Fitness.
Together, through community, commitment, and purpose, the legacy continues—strengthening lives and building brighter futures for the next generation.
