Attend An Event

Get Ready, Get Set, and Save the Date!

Lifebanc is excited to announce that the 2025 Gift of Life Walk & Run will occur at a new location on familiar grounds. The event will be held on Sunday, August 10th, at the Porthouse Theatre, located on the grounds of Blossom Music Center. (The Porthouse Theatre is located on the right, after pulling into Blossom Drive and before the stop sign.) The decision to move the event venue was made for several reasons. It allows us to utilize more green space and spread out the footprint of the walk and run while still enjoying the beautiful environment of Blossom Music Center. This change allows us to retain cherishedevent components, such as T-shirt Row, the First-Timer's Tent, and the Kids Zone, while also providing room for growth. Additionally, the Legacy Garden, the heart of the event, will have ample space for all who wish to participate. The event will open at 7:30 a.m., with the race and walk starting together at 9:00 a.m. Although there may be some alterations, we will continue to use the roads within Blossom for the course. Lifebanc is partnering with Kent State University, which manages the Porthouse Theatre and has generously agreed to assist with the event. We believe this change will create a positive experience for everyone attending, and we look forward to a new and improved event at the Porthouse Theatre on the grounds of Blossom Music Center. Registration is open and you can enjoy an Early Bird Registration fee of $26 until 4/30/25.  Contact events@lifebanc.org with any questions.
