On June 1, 2025, BAPS Charities brought the community together in Scranton, PA, 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 200 participants, the event welcomed individuals of all ages, including Bill Rinaldi and Congressman Rob Bresnahan (PA-8), who joined in solidarity for the cause.
