Gallery: Annual Kirk Goodwin Run raises over $38,000

May 3, 2026 by Leslie Carrigan Leave a Comment

Four hundred seventy Students, alumni, faculty and community members signed up to race on Saturday in Galaxy’s 2026 annual Kirk Goodwin Run, which raised $38,000 to support the professional development and internship director in COBA, Jasmine McCabe-Gosset. Gosset was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy in November of 2024, and all of the proceeds of this year’s race are towards her medical bills.
