This year, the Cherry Blossom Run is proud to support five incredible organizations making a difference in our community. A portion of the proceeds from the 2026 event will benefit the UW Botanical Gardens, helping to preserve Seattle’s natural spaces, and Rainier Beach High School, providing resources for students to thrive. We’re also contributing to Green Lake Junior Crew, empowering young rowers, and Head for the Cure, in their fight against brain cancer which is near our hearts after the devastating loss of CBR founder, Jimmy Addison. Additionally, we’re partnering with Back On My Feet, an organization using running to support individuals experiencing homelessness. Your participation and generous donations in the 2026 Cherry Blossom Run helps us give back and strengthen our local community.
