Our Story
Each member, whether young or old, holds the potential to positively influence and inspire those around them. To develop and encourage these skills and talents, we plan events that allow our members to become positive, strong, and active members of the community.
Celebrating 10 Years of Giving…
St. Mary’s Fall Classic 5K has been a platform for celebrating community, philanthropy, and health since its beginnings in 2013. After more than 10 years of our presence in Rockland County, we’ve been able to bring awareness to incredible causes and champion togetherness. To date, we’ve raised over $113,000 for various local and national charities like the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, People to People, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Love146, The Michael J. Fox Foundation, and The Dravet Syndrome Foundation. We are committed to making a difference in the community and world we live in. Each year our growing community of participants and local sponsors enable us to surpass every goal we set out to reach.
Our goals for our 11th Annual St. Mary’s Fall Classic 5K Run/Walk are bigger than ever.
