Joe’s Run, Walk & Roll

Join us for the 27th Annual Joe’s Run, Walk & Roll on Saturday, Sept. 9, at Hart Park in Wauwatosa.

Joe’s Run, Walk, & Roll started out in 1975 with a sit up contest held in a basement led by its sole participant, Joe Lubarsky, a champion for people with disabilities who himself lives with Cerebral Palsy. The event earned its name in 1988 when Joe first took it to the street soliciting pledges to run 10 miles from home to work in the dead of winter. In 1996, the fund raiser was moved to the fall with all invited to join and has grown into the family-focused community run, walk and roll that it is today.

Joe’s Run, Walk & Roll benefits the programs and services provided by Broadscope Disability Services, a non-profit organization serving the needs of people with disabilities through programs such as independent living, respite care coordination, and supportive employment.
