Organiser's Description
Presented by the Kensington Elementary PTO in celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Join us for a brand-new twist on our school's annual fun run! For the past six years, we've hosted a road race through town this year, we're bringing a bonus race to the Kensington Elementary track for a morning of running, community, and celebration, timed to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the close of the KES cross-country season.
Every family that laces up helps fund our PTO and every dollar given on our separate donation page goes directly to My Breast Cancer Support is a Portsmouth, NH-based nonprofit that has spent 20 years providing direct financial and emotional support to breast cancer patients and their families across the Seacoast region helping with things like groceries, gas, and household bills so families can focus on treatment rather than finances. They've distributed over $1.7 million in direct support to local patients, and the organization holds a 4/4 Star rating on Charity Navigator. Every dollar raised at our race stays close to home, helping a neighbor right here in the Seacoast community through their cancer journey.
