Description
The Dana Chang Foundation 5K Run/1K Walk is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about congenital heart conditions and the importance of early detection. In partnership with Boston Children’s Hospital, the race will take place on April 26, 2026, at Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick, MA.
This event honors the memory of Dana Chang, a young artist who passed away suddenly in 2024 from an undiagnosed heart condition, and supports programs that promote education, early screening, and community awareness.
Families, students, runners, and community members come together for a meaningful day of running, walking, and cheering—taking steps toward preventing future tragedies and saving lives.
The Dana Chang Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt public charity under Section a 501(c)3 of the IRS Code; donations are fully deductible.
