Chinese New Year 5K/10K Run/Walk
Year of the Ox - 4719
Virtual Run: February 12th - March 7th, 2021
2020 has changed the way we live and play. The Chinatown YMCA has adapted to the changes and stepped up even further to help those in need. That’s why we are moving our 43rd Annual CCHP Chinese New Year Run into the virtual world and inviting our friends and partners from across the globe to participate. Funds raised from this event will help address crucial deficits in our community by:
- Bridging the digital divide for our youth, families and seniors whilst the world has moved online without them
- Helping to put healthy foods at the tables of low-income families
- Supporting virtual academic and enrichment learning for youth from homes without internet or parents who do not speak English
- Social isolation and loneliness in older adults living alone or away from family
We hope to virtually see you at the finish line this year!
