St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Charity Run with Jovany
Friday, April 10, 2026 · with Little St. Nick Foundation and St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Foundation · Tampa, FL
Jovany Ruiz runs a meter for the kids treated at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital each year — tens of thousands of them. He starts alone in the early morning on Davis Islands, and for the final 5K, the city joins him: families, kids, athletes, anyone with legs and a reason.

The problem we took on
Treatment is handled. Being remembered by the place you live while it happens is not.
What we did about it
After the run: a field day, food, and treats — a free community race built around a fundraising push for the hospital’s rehab center expansion, alongside Thrve and the Little St. Nick Foundation. One person doing something hard, publicly, for someone else — and making it easy for everyone watching to join. That’s the whole playbook in one morning.
