DNA Dash | June 13, 2026
Join us for our second annual DNA Dash virtual 5K fundraising event! This event is your chance to walk, run, or roll to help raise funds for Genetic Support Foundation (GSF). GSF provides genetic counseling, resources, and support to individuals and families navigating genetic conditions.
How It Works
This event is completely virtual, so complete your 5K anytime, anywhere on June 13. You can also choose any other activity or goal to complete during this event, like a crafting, coloring, or reading race!
Once you register, you will receive a package in the mail with a DNA Dash wristband and sticker. If you raise $50, you will also receive a GSF tote bag with goodies!
We encourage you to track your progress and share what you accomplish with our online community using the event hashtag #DNADash2026.
