Catchin’ Waves and Cheerin’ Runners at the Spring Into Summer 5K

This May, we swapped scrubs for sneakers and hit the pavement as proud first-time sponsors of the Spring Into Summer 5K with the St. Mary’s Athletic Association. Just a few blocks from our Surfside Smile Co. HQ in Middletown, this community event was packed with energy, local love, and seriously speedy kids.

Running for More Than Medals

The Spring Into Summer 5K isn’t just a race — it’s a movement (literally) that raises funds for student athletics and enrichment programs at St. Mary’s School. Supporting the event was a no-brainer for us — we’re all about helping local kids grow strong, smile big, and feel confident, whether they’re hitting the field or the dentist’s chair.

Smiles, Snacks & High-Fives

With so many Surfside Smile Co. kiddos at St. Mary’s, it felt extra special to be on the sidelines cheering them on — cowbells, clappers, and all. We handed out snacks, gave out all the high-fives, and even braved a little sprinkle of rain toward the end. (Let’s be real: it only added to the fun.)

Same Time Next Year? You Betcha.

From the big race to the kids’ dash, the whole morning was a blast — and a great reminder of what makes Middletown awesome. We’re beyond grateful to be part of a community that shows up, supports each other, and makes room for smiles at every mile
