On June 8, 2025, BAPS Charities brought the community together in Cherry Hill, NJ, for its annual “Spirit of Service: Walk-Run.” This inspiring event supported the many initiatives of BAPS Charities, which mobilizes the collective spirit of volunteers worldwide to serve individuals, families, and communities across five key areas: Community Empowerment, Educational Services, Environmental Protection and Preservation, Health and Wellness, and Humanitarian Relief. Together, these efforts inspire selfless service and help build stronger communities, a healthier nation, and a better world.
With over 400 participants, the event welcomed individuals of all ages, including Mayor Dave Fleisher (Mayor, Cherry Hill Township), Sheriff Chuck Billingham (Sheriff, Camden County), Councilman Daniel V. DiRenzo, Jr. (Councilman, Cherry Hill Township), and Darshan Patel of Sherman Silverstein Law Firm, Cherry Hill, who all joined in solidarity for the cause.
This BAPS Charities Walk-Run is one of over 100 similar events held across North America as part of a broader initiative benefiting local organizations. For over 20 years, BAPS Charities has organized more than 1,100 walks, making a meaningful impact in communities by supporting important causes and promoting a spirit of service and unity.
