To honor those who have died by suicide and those who are forever affected by suicide, the 3rd annual Poppy's Run For Life will be held on Sunday, March 8, 2026.
All proceeds from the row will be donated to the suicide prevention and awareness programs and services at Alexander JFS and the Montrose Center.
Poppy’s Run for Life is recognized as a 501(c) 3 charity by the IRS.
Caryn Honig is the founder and director of Poppy's Run For Life. Caryn's father and grandfather both died by suicide, forever changing her life as well as the lives of family, friends and loved ones. They are not alone. Suicide is on the rise and is a leading cause of death in the US with 45,979 deaths in 2020. This is about one death every 11 minutes. The number of people who attempt or think about suicide is even higher. Suicide affects the health and well-being of surviving family, friends, co-workers, loved ones and the community.

Race Sponsorship Eligibility – Team Bee Abled
To qualify for race sponsorship through Bee Abled, athletes must attend at least ONE (1) team workout per month. This helps us build community, stay connected, and ensure everyone is race ready.
If you don’t meet the sponsorship criteria but still wish to race with Team Bee Abled, you’re welcome to join by covering your own registration fee. Attending workouts may open the door to reimbursement, but please speak with me first. We’ll still assist with race packet pickup, except for Chevron races, where group pickup is not permitted.
Please note: If Bee Abled covers your race registration and you’re unable to attend, we kindly ask that you reimburse the organization to help us continue supporting future athletes and events.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask us.
*** Please be on time on race day. If Bee Abled pays for your race fee and you are a "no show" you are required to reimburse Bee Abled for any fee(s) paid. We will have our Bee Abled (blue) tent set up close to the start/finish line. ***
