SACH Inaugural Virtual 5K - Step It Up for Hopkinton
SACH Annual 5K - Step it Up for Hopkinton Emergency Fund is a wrap! 1 Week, 62 Participants, $2,150 Raised!
In advocating for active community involvement and philanthropy, SACH partnered with Hopkinton Emergency Fund to launch its inaugural 5K. Through this initiative, SACH was able to fulfill its mission of civic engagement, spread awareness about this new organization and raised $2,150 towards helping Hopkinton residents in need.
The event was a big success with 62 participants and a good number of young kids who were proud to run their very first 5K and make a difference.
SACH also organized a weekly social runs leading up to the main event, with a small group of interested participants. This included warm-up time, practice run and cool down stretches.
The event was made possible with the help of our generous sponsors:
Phipps Insurance Agency, HopYo and Bill's Pizzeria.
How did the 5K idea begin?
"The genesis for the 5K fundraiser was a group SACH formed called Step it Up with SACH. President Ruta Upalekar, an avid runner who will participate in the Boston Marathon this fall, came up with the idea to connect with others while exercising. SACH had hoped to start the 5K last year, but COVID-19 thwarted those plans."
