About the Event

We're excited to host our 3rd annual 5K and Madonna Mile at Madonna University in 2026 to support a cause close to our hearts – helping students through our Summer Bridge Program.

Why the Bridge Program?

Madonna University's Bridge Program is a summer residential experience designed to give students a head start on college success. Over 11 days, students participate in workshops, leadership activities, cultural experiences, and connect with campus resources - building confidence, skills, and community. Your support helps us provide these life-changing opportunities for talented students who just need a little extra assistance to reach their full potential.
