Landrum 5K raises $17,297.14 for Lakeview Center

Pensacola, Fla. (May 27, 2025) – Landrum presented to Lakeview Center a $17,297.14 donation – proceeds from the 2^nd Annual Landrum 5K Run/Walk held in October of 2024.

Last year, Lakeview Center served more than 27,000 adults and children with mental illnesses, drug and alcohol dependencies, and intellectual disabilities.

The Landrum 5K promotes awareness of the link between physical and mental health. According to the National Institutes of Health, exercise improves mental health by reducing anxiety, depression and negative mood while boosting self-esteem and cognitive function. These health benefits can be achieved with as little as 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise – like brisk walking – three times a week.

“Our second annual 5K  was another great event, encouraging people to get active to improve mental health,” said Britt Landrum, III, CEO of Landrum. “It was amazing to see our event grow and for the awareness about the link between mental health and exercise to become stronger.”

From Escambia to Walton County, Lakeview Center offers more than 60 programs, including inpatient and residential treatments, outpatient counseling, psychiatry, programs for substance misuse, children’s services, and 24/7 crisis mental health care.

“The generous support of the Landrum team and event sponsors will help benefit the more than 27,000 adults and children served every year through Lakeview Center,” said Allison Hill, CEO of Lakeview Center’s parent company, LifeView Group. “The need for mental health services in our community is tremendous. Every day, 50 new clients reach out to Lakeview Center asking for help with mental health or substance misuse treatment. Landrum and our sponsors are helping Lakeview Center’s specialized caregivers continue to provide comprehensive mental health care for children and adults across Northwest Florida.”

Generous supporters include platinum sponsors Clark Partington Attorneys at Law, Hancock Whitney, Jewelers Trade Shop, Shumaker, and Woodlands Medical Specialists; gold sponsors Centennial Bank, Cox, Florida Blue, Florida Power & Light, Navy Federal Credit Union, PMA Group, Starnes Davis Florie LLP, Truist, Trustmark, USI Insurance Services and Waverly Advisors; silver sponsors Community Bank, FS Advisors, National Naval Aviation Museum, Ortiz Legal, Regions, and Saltmarsh, Cleaveland & Gund; bronze sponsor Pen Air Credit Union, and in-kind sponsors City Produce and U.S. Foods.

The third-annual Landrum 5K will take place October 11, 2025, starting at 8 a.m. from the Landrum office in downtown Pensacola, located at 219 E. Garden Street. Registration for the next Landrum 5K is open now through 7:45 a.m. on race day. Refreshments will be available. Prizes will be awarded for the top male and female racers, with additional prizes for specific age groups.
