Whether it\u2019s running a 5K to raise money for charity or taking a pottery class, Long Beach isn\u2019t short on mom-centered events. With varying times, you\u2019ll still have the opportunity to take mom to one of the many champagne brunches throughout the city. Here are five ways to pamper mom this Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n Fourth Annual Mother\u2019s Day Virtual 5K<\/strong><\/p>\n Join women from across the world in completing a 5K, 3.1 miles, to raise money for Vitamin Angels<\/a>, a nonprofit that provides essential vitamins and minerals to women and children at risk of malnutrition. Runners choose the course and when they run, so long as the 5K is completed by the end of May. Once completed, runners report their times to Moon Joggers<\/a> and they donate at least 15 percent of the registration fee to charity. Plus you\u2019ll receive a medal in the mail. Registration for inside the United States is $17 and a custom bib is an additional $13.

Ocean pollution harms the environment, animals, people and local economy. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own gloves, buckets and reusable bags to reduce the amount of waste produced during the clean up. Check in is near the lifeguard station at parking lot 66 and all volunteers must sign a waiver. Free. Saturday, May 13, 10:00AM to 11:00AM. Parking lot 66 is located at 2100 East Ocean Boulevard.<\/p>\n Pottery Class at Clay Ceramic Studio<\/strong><\/p>\n Enjoy snacks and sip mimosas while learning how to create themed Mother\u2019s Day vases, ring holders and heart shaped bowls using a pottery wheel. The event is for moms and kids and has three different session times, so you won\u2019t have to miss Mother\u2019s Day brunch. It is recommended that you sign up ahead of time, as space is limited. $65 per person. Sunday, May 14, 12:30PM-2:30PM, 3:00PM-5:00PM, 5:30PM-7:30PM. Clay Ceramic Studio is located at 406 East First Street Unit B.<\/p>\n Mother\u2019s Day Yoga: I\u2019ve Got Your Back<\/strong><\/p>\n Mothers are invited to pour the same love and care they give to others into themselves. Learn to listen to your body\u2019s cues and participate in a guided journey into the depth of your body\u2019s wisdom with Olive Yoga in downtown<\/a>. Free for mothers, $25 for everyone else. Sunday, May 24, 6:00PM-7:30PM. Olive Yoga is located at 244 Pine Avenue.<\/p>\n Frida Kahlo Exhibit at MOLAA<\/strong><\/p>\n Technically this isn\u2019t Mother\u2019s Day specific, but after brunch take mom to the Museum of Latin American Art to view the special exhibit Frida Kahlo: Through the Lens of Nickolas Muray. It features 46 color and black and white photographic portraits of Kahlo (1907-1954) taken by Muray (1892-1965) between 1937 and 1946. Copies of letters between the two are also on display. Free on Sundays. 11:00AM-5:00PM. The Museum of Latin American Art is located at 628 Alamitos Avenue.<\/p>\n
