Helen's Walk/Run 5K at Sands Point Preserve
A Helen Keller Services 5K supporting individuals who are DeafBlind with intellectual disabilities to pursue job and leisure opportunities.
Lace up for the annual Helen's Walk/Run — a USATF-certified 5K through the beautiful grounds of Sands Point Preserve. Funds raised will support Helen Keller Services and Destiny Home, the only group home in New York State certified by the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) to serve individuals who are DeafBlind with intellectual disabilities. Since 2008, Destiny Home has provided 24-hour support for four to five permanent residents in Port Washington, helping them pursue job and leisure opportunities that match their interests and abilities.
Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome. The course winds through the preserve's wooded trails and open lawns with views of Long Island Sound. It's a meaningful morning out — good exercise, a great cause, and a stunning setting.
When: Sunday, September 20, 2026, 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Where: Sands Point Preserve, 127 Middle Neck Rd, Port Washington, NY
Cost: See registration page for entry fees

PPN Wants to Help People Find Your NonProfit 👀
If Your Organization has Events, needs Volunteers, or is Hiring — let me know.
Listing is free. We review all submissions and publish what fits our audience and editorial standards.
That’s it for this week. Have a good one.
Weekend events are the main thing right now so pick one (or two) and hopefully I’ll see you out there. There are so many other good things on the site that we can’t fit in the newsletter so check it out if you’re looking for something good to do.
If you have a comment or idea just reply to this email. I read them all and appreciate your thoughts.
P.S. — if you know someone who'd ❤️ this, please share it with them. PPN grows when good people tell other good people about it.
