Proceeds Benefit New Fund for Veterans and Families – Posted 9/25/15

Multiple student organizations at County College of Morris (CCM) are partnering with the Office of Counseling and Student Success to host the second annual Veterans Day 5K and 1 Mile Walk on Sunday, November 8.

The college’s Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, Student Ambassadors Club and Student Government Association are co-hosting the event, which will be held on CCM’s Randolph campus, 214 Center Grove Road.

Registration for the 5K and 1 mile walk begins at 7:45 a.m. and the event starts at 9 a.m. Runners can register before October 30 to pay the discounted pre-registration fee of $20. On October 30, the fee is $25 through same-day registration. Children 10 and younger pay $10. The fee covers the cost of a T-shirt, race bib, gifts and food.

All proceeds will go to the new CCM Fund for Veterans and Families. The fund provides non-academic financial assistance to cover such costs as housing, wellness support and daycare expenses for veteran students and/or their dependents.

Awards will be presented to the top three male and female runners. To register online, go to http://register.compuscore.com/veterans-day-5k/.
