3rd Annual Run to Remember sponsored by TXU Energy

Catholic Charities of Lubbock and TXU Energy invite the community to participate in the 3rd Annual Run to Remember on Saturday, June 20, 2026 at 8 a.m.  The event will start at Catholic Charities (102 Avenue J.), with a scenic route through the historic Guadalupe Neighborhood, Aztlan Park, and Mackenzie Park. 

 

The Run to Remember is more than just a race - it is an opportunity for the community to come together in support of individuals and families facing poverty, homelessness, hunger, and crisis across Lubbock and the South Plains. 

 

Participants can register as individuals for $40 or as a team of 8 for $300.  Registration includes a t-shirt, timing bib, and completion medal. 

 

Proceeds from the event provide unrestricted funding to Catholic Charities of Lubbock, allowing the agency to meet the most urgent needs in the community. These funds include a wide range of services, including:

 

- Free counseling for children 17 and under through the Family and Youth Success program

- Immigration services including citizenship and family-based assistance

- Parent Empowerment Program to help families break the cycle of poverty by furthering their training and education

- Kinship Navigation Program, supporting those caring for family children and keeping them out of foster care

- Direct Assistance with utilities, food, clothing, prescriptions, and vision care

- Food pantry and hygiene closet for individuals and families in need 

 

"Every step taken and every dollar raised helps us continue providing hope and critical services to our neighbors in need," said Cynthia Quintanilla, Catholic Charities of Lubbock Executive Director. 

 

Community members are encouraged to participate as runners, walkers, or sponsors. Sponsorship opportunities aer available and offer a meaningful way for businesses and individuals to give back while making a lasting local impact.
