It's A Wonderful Run 5k

The new museum is coming along. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

🏠✨ Close your eyes and imagine stepping into Bedford Falls.

Walking through Gower's Drug Store.
Standing in Mr. Potter's Office.
Experiencing interactive exhibits inspired by the film's timeless lessons of kindness, hope, and community.

That's the vision for the expanded It's A Wonderful Life Museum. Plans include recreated sets, a theater, enhanced exhibits, and new ways for visitors to connect with the story that continues to inspire millions around the world.

The 80th Anniversary is approaching, and every donation brings us one step closer to making this dream a reality. Because the message of It's a Wonderful Life deserves a home as memorable as the film itself.

❤️ Help us build something wonderful. Go to our website to learn more ways to help.

We recently had the privilege of participating in the Mercy Flight golf outing, a philanthropic event that has garnered support from the Wonderful Run 5K over the years, ultimately benefiting over 18,000 individuals in the Finger Lakes Region. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the participants whose involvement in the race has directly advanced Mercy Flight's mission. Registration for the region's premier 5K event is now open and can be accessed at www.itsawonderfulrun5k.com.

Greetings Wonderful Run 5K Participants. Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day weekend. Just a reminder that registration to the best 5K in the world is open. It’s a good time to sign up. Fun fact about the area, Waterloo, NY our neighbor to the west, is known as the birthplace of Memorial Day. The US Federal Government recognized Waterloo, NY in 1966 officially as the birthplace of Memorial Day. If you are in the area this weekend, check out the festivities in Waterloo.

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

Today, we celebrate the love, strength, and quiet sacrifices of mothers everywhere—those who guide us, support us, and shape who we become.

In It's a Wonderful Life, Mary Bailey shows us what it means to love with your whole heart. Through every high and low, she stands beside George—not just as a wife, but as a steady source of courage, compassion, and unwavering belief.

Mothers have a way of reminding us of what truly matters:
💛 Family
💛 Kindness
💛 And the power of simply being there

Today, we honor all the women who nurture, uplift, and love so deeply—mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and mother figures alike.

Your love leaves a legacy that lasts a lifetime. ✨

Tag a mother or mother figure who has made a difference in your life 💐
