Lifebanc Announces 2025 Gift of Life Walk & Run Set for August 10

Lifebanc is excited to announce that the 2025 Gift of Life Walk & Run will be held on Sunday, August 10, at an exciting new location— Porthouse Theatre, located on the grounds of Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls.

This new venue allows for an expanded event footprint and greater use of green space while preserving the spirit and beloved traditions of the Walk & Run. The Porthouse Theatre is situated to the right after entering Blossom Drive and before the stop sign.

The move enables Lifebanc to retain favorite event features such as T-shirt Row, the First- Timer’s Tent, and the Kids Zone, while also creating room for future growth. The Legacy Garden, the emotional heart of the event, will now have additional space for all who wish to gather and reflect.

The event will open at 7:30 a.m., with both the 1-mile Family Fun Walk and the 5K Race
beginning together at 9:00 a.m. The course will continue to utilize roads within Blossom, with
only minor changes expected.

Lifebanc is proud to partner with Kent State University, which manages the Porthouse Theatre and has generously offered its support for the event. This new setting reflects Lifebanc’s continued commitment to creating a meaningful and memorable experience for all participants.

The fee to participate is $40 and to register, visit www.lifebanc.org. For questions or more
