Community-led charity runs and sporting events are being organized across various regions to support medical research, social welfare, and local visibility.

In late August 2026, multiple events were reported across Spain, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, and Costa Rica. These included cancer research fundraisers in Spain, solidarity marathons for children with cerebral palsy and oncological needs in Argentina, food drives in Chile, earthquake relief efforts in Venezuela, and reconstruction funding for a children's hospital shelter in Costa Rica.

By mid-September, additional initiatives in Spain were announced. These include a trail race in Benamira designed to combat regional isolation and a charity race in Sevilla dedicated to raising awareness for rare diseases, specifically epidermolysis bullosa, also known as ‘Butterfly Skin’.
