On May 31, 2025, BAPS Charities brought the community together in Ashburn, VA, for its annual “Spirit of Service: Walk-Run.” This inspiring event encouraged participants to step forward in support of Mobile Hope, a local organization dedicated to serving homeless and at-risk youth under the age of 24—while promoting service, compassion, and community well-being.
With nearly 600 participants, the event welcomed individuals of all ages, including U.S. Congressman Suhas Subramanyam, Virginia State Senator Kannan Srinivasan, Delegate JJ Singh, Loudoun County Treasurer Henry Eickelberg, and Donna Fortier, CEO and Founder of Mobile Hope, all of whom joined in solidarity for the cause.
The BAPS Charities Walk-Run in Ashburn is one of over 100 similar events held across North America as part of a broader initiative supporting local organizations. For over 20 years, BAPS Charities has organized more than 1,100 walks, making a meaningful impact in communities by championing important causes and fostering a spirit of service and unity.
