Organiser's Description
The student led "Using Our Voices" Mental Health Run Series was created by Center Moriches & North Babylon Student Leaders as a follow-up to PS I Love You Day. This event is grounded in the belief that students should be part of the change process, with genuine inclusivity achieved through active student engagement. It has now grown to include four districts: CENTER MORICHES, NORTH BABYLON, CONNETQUOT, AND PATCHOGUE-MEDFORD.
Last year, we raised $20,000 and had OVER 700 STUDENTS participatedcompletely free of charge. The funds supported students across Long Island by providing counseling
opportunities and giving them the platform to display leadership, collaborate with peers from other districts, and contribute to an important cause.
The event is DESIGNED AND EXECUTED ENTIRELY BY STUDENTS, who are involved in every aspect, from planning to race day logistics. The goal is to share crucial messages about reducing stress and anxiety, building relationships, and supporting mental and physical health through movement. This initiative also empowers students to work toward the NYS Seal of Civic Readiness by fostering civic engagement and community-mindedness.
By supporting this series, you help students across the island UNITE for a cause that matterspromoting mental health and wellness. ALL PROCEEDS benefit mental health organizations that work directly with our youth, amplifying the positive impact of this event.
Together, with the help of NORTH BABYLON, CONNETQUOT, AND NOW PATCHOGUE-MEDFORD, we are excited to make this year's event even better! Join us in supporting this one-of-a-kind, student-led event serieswhere students use their voices, have fun, and
build a network of positivity across Long Island.
