The Idea
I founded Healthy Celebrations at James Madison University after discovering a similar club at the University of Georgia and realizing nothing like it existed at JMU. I wanted to create a safe, non-competitive space where women could move, run, and connect together.
From Concept to Community
What started as a small group meeting after class grew into a true community, with weekly routes and events that students looked forward to. Healthy Celebrations later became a recognized university organization, securing a lasting presence on campus.
The Experience
We explore Harrisonburg routes, support new runners, and create space for underclassmen to meet friends. There is no pace requirement, no pressure, and no expectations beyond showing up as you are.

Through Healthy Celebrations, I’ve built partnerships with wellness brands that align with our mission. By managing outreach, communication, and collaboration, I’ve gained hands-on experience in brand partnerships.
The products we receive are shared directly with our members through run meet-ups, giveaways, and events.
