Bean Automotive Group proudly stood alongside thousands of South Florida families, survivors, and supporters on Saturday, February 8, as the Title Sponsor of the 2026 Bean Automotive Group Live Like Bella Superhero 5K. Now in its eighth consecutive year as title sponsor, Bean Automotive Group continues its heartfelt commitment to supporting children battling cancer and the families who stand beside them.
The Superhero 5K is more than just a race, it is a powerful community movement inspired by the life and legacy of Bella Rodriguez-Torres. Bella’s courage, positivity, and message to “Live Like Bella” continue to unite the South Florida community in the fight against pediatric cancer. Each year, the event brings together runners, walkers, volunteers, and supporters determined to turn compassion into action.
For Bean Automotive Group, the partnership with the Live Like Bella Childhood Cancer Foundation represents a deeply meaningful mission rooted in giving back to the community it has proudly served for more than five decades. Team members, families, and supporters gathered at this year’s event not only to raise funds, but to stand in solidarity with children and families facing unimaginable challenges.
“When our daughter Bella passed away, we found ourselves in a situation where we wanted to help, but it takes a community, and it takes partners like Bean Automotive Group to actually make a difference,” said Raymond Rodriguez-Torres, founder of the Live Like Bella Cancer
Foundation. “We’re incredibly grateful to say that thanks to the support from Bean, Live Like Bella has surpassed 45 million dollars in cancer research and we’re able to support families across the United States and in 38 countries around the world.”
Funds raised through the Bean Automotive Group Live Like Bella Superhero 5K support groundbreaking pediatric cancer research, as well as financial, emotional, and educational assistance for families navigating treatment. The event continues to grow each year, reflecting the strength and generosity of the South Florida community and its dedication to supporting children in need.
Bean Automotive Group remains committed to initiatives that uplift local families and strengthen the community through charitable partnerships, educational support, and health-focused programs. The dealership group looks forward to continuing its partnership with the Live Like Bella Foundation and supporting its mission to bring hope to children battling cancer.
