About the Ponte las Pilas 5k and Fun Run/Walk
This race takes its name from a Spanish phrase that means "put your batteries in," the kind of energizing nudge that gets passed down through families and communities. It benefits Firme DFW, an organization that supports first-generation college students through scholarships and mentorship. The cause is central to the event, not a footnote.
