Register for Strides for Schneids, a community fitness challenge and fundraiser honoring the life and legacy of Bruce Schneider. This event celebrates movement, joy, and giving back—just as Bruce lived his life.
Registration is $35 and includes a Strides for Schneids t-shirt.
Walk, run, or move in your own way while supporting the Bruce Schneider Memorial Fund, which benefits students at Lift For Life Academy (LFLA).
Every step celebrates Bruce’s vibrant spirit and every dollar raised helps create meaningful opportunities for LFLA students!
Funds raised support two key programs:
- The Schneids Scholarship, awarding at least $15,000 to a graduating senior who embodies Bruce’s kindness, positivity, and community spirit
- The Extracurricular Fund, ensuring all students can participate in sports, arts, and enrichment opportunities without financial barriers
Participants are encouraged to rally their networks - friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors - to support LFLA students. Share your journey, send personal messages, or host mini challenges - every stride helps move this mission forward!
Bruce believed in the power of community and lifting others up. By participating, you carry forward his legacy and help LFLA students learn, grow, and thrive.
