On June 1, 2025, BAPS Charities brought the community together in Sacramento, CA, 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 250 participants, the event welcomed individuals of all ages, including Sacramento County Supervisor Pat Hume, Rancho Cordova City Mayor Siri Pulipati, Elk Grove City Councilmember Rod Brewer, Folsom Cordova Unified School District Board Member YK Chalamcherla, and Dr. Thiru Rajagopalan, MD who 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.
