NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS — Get ready to lace up, spin the wheel, and come on
down for The Helping House Be the Piece That Matters 5K on Saturday, October
25, 2025, at the CBTx Parking Lot, Downtown Nacogdoches. Check-in begins at
7:00 a.m., 10k at 8 a.m., and the 5k starts at 8:30 a.m.
This year’s theme — The Price is Right — adds a fun and interactive twist to the
annual 5K fundraiser. Participants can look forward to classic game show
themes, colorful costumes, and prizes that will make everyone feel like a winner.
Runners, walkers, families, and strollers are all welcome to join the fun with
registration including a themed event shirt and racer’s bag.
“The Helping House is a place where every child matters, and every contribution
makes a difference,” said Amanda Johnson, Director of The Helping House.
“Community support through events like this 5K allows us to continue providing
the foundation and skills needed to prepare our students for traditional
education settings.”
Proceeds from the 5K benefit The Helping House, a nonprofit school providing
individualized instruction and therapy for children with autism and
developmental delays. More than half of THH’s operating budget comes from
fundraisers and donations, which allow the school to keep tuition affordable
while maintaining a high standard of one-on-one education and intervention.
Donation opportunities are available and will not only support the Be the Piece
That Matters 5K but will also directly impact the lives of children and families
served by The Helping House.
Participants and supporters are encouraged to visit the-helping-house.org or
