9th Annual Om Memorial 5K Run & Walk

Join former Giants player Justin Pugh to fundraise for pediatric cancer research and awareness at the 9th Annual Om Memorial 5K Run & Walk, one of the largest charitable events in Central Jersey!

This event is held in memory of Central NJ middle schooler “Optimistic Om” Parikh, who spread smiles and positivity to everyone around him even while he was fighting a brain tumor.

Register to participate or donate at smilesforom.org and learn more about the Om Foundation @smilesforom on Instagram and Facebook.

With dependable and generous support from you and others, we have been able to fund over $350,000 in Cancer Research, Child Life Program at RWJ, pediatric cancer awareness and Optimism programs, scholarships and support to needy families impacted by cancer.

Om Foundation is a 100% volunteer organization with over 200 volunteers supporting one of the largest pediatric cancer events in central New Jersey. While we are a local charity, we have been able to generate significant outreach and following. We have reached and inspired over 12,000 children, 10,000 5K participants and numerous community organizations and businesses in and around Monroe Township.
