Scripps Ranch 4th of July Run & Ride

What an incredible day.

Yesterday, 3500+ runners, riders, families, friends, and even a few four-legged participants came together to celebrate the Fourth of July!

None of this would have been possible without our volunteers, our participants, and especially our sponsors.

Cheers to every one of you for making this years vision one of the best ever.

To every Old Pro who committed time and energy for days, weeks and months, thank you.

Now get some rest.

We’ll see you next year.

There are two things that bring people together fast: community events and great barbecue.

Thankfully, Kaminski’s BBQ understands both.

Known throughout San Diego for serving incredible barbecue and feeding crowds of happy customers, they’ve become a favorite for families, gatherings, and celebrations of all kinds.

We’re grateful for their support of the Scripps Ranch Old Pros Run & Ride and for helping keep community traditions alive.

Some sponsors write a check.

Some sponsors roll up their sleeves.

Eric Lefkowitz at Forward Loans do both.

Over the past several years, Eric has helped lead fundraising efforts for the Scripps Ranch Old Pros Foundation and played a key role in growing the Run & Ride through sponsor outreach, community partnerships, and countless volunteer hours.

Events like this don’t happen by accident.

They happen because people care enough to invest their time, energy, and resources into something bigger than themselves.

Eric’s passion for Scripps Ranch runs deep, and his commitment to preserving the traditions that make this community special is evident in everything he does.

Thank you, Eric, for your leadership, generosity, and unwavering support of the community.
