PUENTE Learning Center was proud to be a charity partner for the 5th consecutive year at the L.A. 5K on March 7, 2026 at Dodger Stadium. This day brought together an incredible community of 112 runners in support of our mission. From students, staff, board members, volunteers, and community partners, Team PUENTE showed up with energy, pride, and a shared commitment to opportunity and education.
Thanks to our generous sponsors and donors, PUENTE Learning Center raised over $15,500. These funds go directly to supporting our community and vital educational programs for learners of all ages.
Events like this create a space where our families and students feel seen, supported, and celebrated. For many of our students, this is not just a run, but a chance to engage in a positive, community-centered experience that promotes wellness, connection, and confidence. It’s an opportunity for students to set goals, challenge themselves, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
This event offers our families a welcoming environment to build relationships, connect with others, and take pride in being part of the PUENTE community. These shared experiences help strengthen the bonds that are essential to student success, both inside and outside the classroom.
We believe that education is deeply connected to overall well-being. When students and families have opportunities to engage in activities that promote health, teamwork, and community pride, it reinforces the foundation for long-term success even outside of the classroom.
PUENTE Learning Center is grateful to everyone who participated, supported, and cheered on Team PUENTE this year.
