"THE GOOD SAMARITAN RUN WILL FOCUS ON HELPING THOSE IN NEED OF AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY."

The Good Samaritan Run will focus on helping those in need of affordable healthcare in our local community. Christian Health Service of Syracuse is reaching out to the CNY area in much the same way as the Good Samaritan in the Bible went out of his way to help his hurting neighbor.

Christian Health is determined to bring affordable primary healthcare to the community. The Good Samaritan Run proceeds will ensure that assistance, as well as raise awareness of this wonderful mission to our neighbors.

Faith based and centered on the mission of helping others, the event is sure to inspire those who love to run and want that first 5K/10K spring experience. The event is a great way for churches, local businesses, families, and groups having the desire to help people that are our neighbors, connect and give to a local cause.

CHRISTIAN HEALTH SERVICE OF SYRACUSE

The Good Samaritan Run, has been the sole fundraiser for Christian Health Service of Syracuse and its mission for the past 13 years. The race has provided funds for much needed staff, and hundreds of affordable healthcare appointments. This year's goal as always, is to continue to raise support, hire needed staff and provide affordable healthcare for CNY residents.
