Organiser's Description
In 2011 Kathy Olenowski, a Denville business owner and true pillar of the community, lost her courageous battle with cancer. Kathy was only 55 years old and left behind a loving family, many friends, and a community that held her in the highest regard. Shortly after, Pink Witches Night Out was founded by her daughter, Meg Olenowski. Meg and her father, John Olenowski, knew Kathy would want them to carry on her legacy of kindness and compassion.
In 2012, the first Pink Witches Night Out event raised $400 for a local resident who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since then, this event has evolved into Denvilles most highly anticipated night of the year. In 2025, with the support of our amazing sponsors and hard work from our committee, $85,000 was donated to Francesca Esposito, our incredible beneficiary!
This year we are raising funds for a mother of 3 who was recently diagnosed with Glioblastoma. This will be our 2nd annual Pink Witches 5k in Downtown Denville! Last years turnout was AMAZING and we look forward to continuing to grow support within the community with this exciting event to help support this years beneficiary!
(The first 350 people to sign up will get a race shirt, and we will do age group medals. )
