Team Select Home Care is proud to join the Jacksonville community for the 2026 Dreams Come True 5K, an event supporting Dreams Come True of Jacksonville and its mission to bring hope and joy to local children facing life-threatening medical conditions.
The 2026 Dreams Come True 5K takes place on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the University of North Florida J.B. Coxwell Amphitheatre in Jacksonville, Florida. The event includes the 9th Annual 5K, the one-mile Dash for Dreams, and DreamFest, a family-friendly celebration beyond the finish line. This year’s theme invites participants to come in full superhero mode with capes, masks, and hero gear as the community celebrates the real stars of the day: the Dreamers.
For Team Select, this event is about more than running across a finish line. It is about standing alongside an organization that has made a meaningful difference for children and families throughout the First Coast community.
Quick Answer: Why Is Team Select Participating in the Dreams Come True 5K?
Team Select Home Care is participating in the 2026 Dreams Come True 5K to support Dreams Come True of Jacksonville, a locally based dream-granting organization dedicated to bringing hope and joy to First Coast children facing life-threatening medical conditions.
As a home health care provider serving medically complex children and adults in the Jacksonville area, Team Select understands how important community support can be for families navigating complex care. Team Select’s Jacksonville team provides Private Duty Nursing and in-home skilled nursing services for medically fragile children and adults with complex medical needs.
Supporting Dreams Come True is one way Team Select can help celebrate the strength of local children, families, caregivers, nurses, and community partners who show up for one another every day.
About the 2026 Dreams Come True 5K
The 2026 Dreams Come True 5K is one of Jacksonville’s community events supporting Dreams Come True of Jacksonville. Participants can take part in the 5K, the one-mile Dash for Dreams, and DreamFest, with every participant receiving a finisher medal and event shirts available while supplies last.
This year’s superhero theme is a fitting reminder of what the day represents. The event celebrates children and families who show courage through some of life’s most difficult moments, as well as the people and organizations who help surround them with support.
Why Dreams Come True of Jacksonville Matters
Dreams Come True of Jacksonville is the First Coast’s only locally based dream-granting organization dedicated to using the power of a dream to bring hope and joy to every First Coast child battling a life-threatening medical condition. Since 1984, Dreams Come True has fulfilled more than 5,200 dreams, with no eligible child denied a dream or placed on a waiting list.
The organization also supports Dreamers and their families throughout the medical journey through its Special Times program, which may include treatment milestone celebrations, back-to-school supplies, holiday support, special events, meals, concerts, and college scholarships for Dreamers and their siblings.
For families facing life-threatening medical conditions, moments of joy can matter deeply. A dream, a celebration, a shared community event, or a day focused on hope can provide encouragement during a journey that often includes appointments, treatments, uncertainty, and emotional strain.
That mission aligns closely with Team Select’s belief that families deserve support, compassion, advocacy, and care that recognizes the whole person, not just the medical condition.
A Meaningful Connection to Team Select Jacksonville
Team Select’s participation in the Dreams Come True 5K is especially meaningful because the Jacksonville team works closely with families navigating complex care at home.
At Team Select Home Care Jacksonville, the local team provides Private Duty Nursing services at home for medically fragile children and adults with complex medical needs. Team Select’s Jacksonville services include pediatric Private Duty Nursing, family caregiver support, care coordination, and skilled nursing support based on each patient’s needs, physician orders, payer requirements, staffing availability, and location.
Private Duty Nursing is one-on-one, long-term skilled nursing care delivered at home by nurses who truly know the child or loved one. Team Select provides Private Duty Nursing for medically complex children and adults and partners with families, physicians, and hospital discharge teams to support care at home.
The Team Select Dreams Come True 5K team page notes that Dreams Come True has supported many families connected to Team Select’s Private Duty Nursing services in the Jacksonville area.
That connection makes the event personal.
For Team Select, supporting Dreams Come True means supporting an organization that brings hope to many of the same kinds of families Team Select is honored to serve through home health care.
Supporting Children, Families, and the Jacksonville Community
Community support can make a powerful difference for families caring for children with complex medical needs.
Medical care is important, but families often need more than clinical services alone. They need encouragement, understanding, connection, and moments where their child can simply experience joy. They need organizations, care teams, volunteers, and neighbors who recognize the strength it takes to keep moving forward.
The Dreams Come True 5K brings those groups together.
It gives the Jacksonville community an opportunity to show up for local children and families in a visible, meaningful way. It also gives Team Select team members a chance to live out the Team Select Difference beyond the home, beyond the office, and directly within the community.
For nurses, caregivers, office teams, family members, and local supporters, this event is a reminder that changing lives for the better can happen in many ways. Sometimes it happens during a nursing shift. Sometimes it happens through advocacy. Sometimes it happens by showing up in superhero gear on a Saturday morning to support children and families who deserve to feel celebrated.
