Our story…

Welcome to Team Aversa 2026!

Team Aversa is thrilled to be a part of the 2026 annual Griffin Hospital 5K Walk/Run. It is the one time of year that we see certain groups of friends and family come together to sweat, raise money, fight cancer, and party hard! It is our honor to come together each year to raise funds for the people in our community who are fighting their toughest battles. We continue this mission in memory of our father, Dr. John M. Aversa, who loved everything about this uplifting event.

We look forward to welcoming returning participants to Team Aversa, and we equally look forward to welcoming some new faces this year. Bring your layers and your willingness to have a great day!

If you cannot join us this year, please do consider a donation. Every dollar counts toward a wonderful cause, and it lights up our faces to see your names on the donation list! :)

Please reach out with any questions. Otherwise, catch you in Derby next month!

With Utmost Love and Gratitude,

TEAM AVERSA
