Event is currently seeking sponsors
Kin Wellness and Support Center 501(c)(3), which provides free care to the cancer community of Bucks County, is thrilled to announce the details for the Third Annual Be Kind 5k and 1 Mile Fun Run in association with the Bucks 5k Series. This year’s race will take place Saturday, April 5 at Holicong Park and will feature a new route that will begin in the park, head down Holicong Rd. to Upper Mountain Rd., turn around and end back in the middle of the park. The event welcomes and encourages people of all levels and abilities to participate and to run or walk to honor, celebrate, and inspire those who have battled, or are battling, cancer. Last year nearly 600 attended. This year the organizers expect even more people and are seeking event sponsors to support this high-profile event.
Last year the Be Kind event raised over $30,000 for Kin Wellness and Support Center. This event prides itself on catering to both serious runners and those who prefer to walk the course. The day will begin at 9:30 am with a family friendly 1-mile fun run, then at 10:00 am the 5k will begin with runners and joggers positioned toward the front, and walkers in the back. This year’s Title Sponsor is LBK Design Build. There are more than 10 sponsorship spots still available; details at www.welcometokin.org
Keith Fenimore, Executive Director of Kin shares, “Kin joined the 5k Series with the Be Kind Event to promote wellness and community camaraderie while helping the local Bucks County cancer community. 100% of the sponsorships and registration fees for the event will benefit Kin Wellness and Support Center. We are honored to be able to provide our community with this special event again this year!”
We are so happy this year to have a local survivor and thriver, Chris Baccash as our official race ambassador. Chris is a Doylestown resident who is a member of the acclaimed Bikeworks Team. Chris will launch our 1-Mile Fun Run; he’ll be the pace bike for the 5k and hand out awards to our winners! We are honored to have Chris affiliated with our race. Chris is a beacon of positivity and encapsulates the persona we are striving for at our Be Kind event!
