I Want to Help

Partner a Charity

Dave Beeksma believed running was better when it was shared. Partner your organization with Beeksma Smiles to reach more runners, honor his legacy, and multiply the good we can do together.

This is a dream of Dave's, and we're working to fulfill it. This partnership program isn't up and running yet. Reach out below and we'll follow up personally as we build it out.
