The Newstead 5K benefitting the Achieve Foundation is just about a month away. The 13th Annual Newstead 5k will be held on Saturday, September 19th starting and ending at the South Mountain Elementary School Annex – 112 Glenview Rd. The event will also include a 2 mile walk and a kids’ fun run. This year Achieve welcomes D & I Fitness as Presenting Sponsor of the Newstead 5K and Fun Run.
“Last year with your help,” says Helen DuBowy, “we were able to raise over $20,000 for the Achieve Foundation which promotes exemplary public education in the South Orange-Maplewood School District.” This funding, explains DuBowy, allows the Achieve Foundation to “offer students and educators a variety of programs and activities such as teacher grants, tutoring, teacher education, support for STEM education and much, much more.”
Not only are locals encouraged to participate in the run, says DuBowy. The Achieve Foundation welcome sponsors at several levels, including Lead and Patron sponsor opportunities which include a name (or company logo) on the registration form “which is distributed throughout our community and anticipated to be seen by over 10,000 people.”
