Healthy Athletes, Healthy Futures
We believe that athletic participation is a foundation for success in life. Kids who play sports have higher self-esteem, greater self-confidence, better academic outcomes, less obesity and are less likely to use drugs. Grounded in the work of pioneering physician Kevin L. Armstrong, the Armstrong M.D. Memorial Sports Foundation provides running shoes, race fees, transportation and support to help kids reach their full potential. Over 100,000 at-risk kids have become a part of the RunStrong program through our 100% volunteer-run nonprofit. Join us!

1/28/20 - Every day seems to bring something new and challenging to each of us. To protect our mutual health and wellness, we have postponed our Annual Golf Tournament. While this is a huge disappointment, we are working with Tustin Ranch Golf Course to reschedule the tournament. We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, teams of golfers and players who support us. With your help, we have impacted the lives of over 13,000 students in the Santa Ana Unified School District, which recently announced school closures through Fall 2020. Read more.

"Thank you so much for being with us in every race and for supporting everyone in RunStrong and for buying us those shoes. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to run in the 3 races. Thank you so much for the shirts and bags. They're really nice. I don't know how to repay you for all the things you gave us. I'm glad I joined this running club. My time for the Cinco de Mayo 5k Race was 20 minutes and 3 seconds. I want to thank the Armstrong Foundation for everything that you have given us". - Eric, McFadden Intermediate School
