The event also offered the opportunity for families of NICU babies and graduates to come together for “support, community and reconnection” with hospital staff.

“Proceeds from the 5K are a significant reason why the NICU has been able to expand and grow, both physically and in support of parents,” GBMC said via press release.

The NICU at GBMC provides care for about 400 babies annually, according to the hospital.
