Welcome to The Donnie Baumann Foundation

At The Donnie Baumann Foundation, we believe recovery is a shared human experience. Not just from addiction, but from anything that keeps us from living fully. Whether facing mental health challenges, chronic illness, or substance use, we’re all moving toward the same hope — healing and renewal. We were founded in honor of a man of faith whose love for running, hard work, and the outdoors reflected a life of perseverance and purpose. Through our programs and race series, we carry that spirit forward. With your help, we hope to create opportunities for movement, connection, and access to care.

Recovery Runs Deep is our community outreach and events initiative, created to connect people through running, reflection, and purpose.

Our series include:

• Run for Recovery: Cause-based races that raise awareness and funds for addiction recovery, including our annual October race in Miami and spring endurance events launching across Florida.

• Faith in Motion: A worship-run experience that blends movement and spirituality, inviting participants to reflect, praise, and connect through motion.

Proceeds from all Recovery Runs Deep events support The Donnie Fund and future initiatives that expand access to treatment and promote holistic wellness.

The Donnie Fund provides direct support for men seeking treatment for addiction. New initiatives are on the way to serve broader paths of recovery and wellness. Together, we’re building a compassionate community that believes healing happens when we move our mind, body, and soul toward hope.
