The 3rd Annual RUN FOR CHRIS 5K Challenge is both a memorial
and charitable event, the primary purpose of which is to raise money for
educational endeavors at the high school level in the Lower Valley of Middlesex County. Chris greatly appreciated the
opportunities afforded to him that introduced him to new places, peoples, and
cultures, such as his time spent studying and working in China. (He had participated in the
trips abroad while at Valley Regional High School). He felt that every young person should have similar opportunities
to expand their horizons, since his experiences had so profoundly impacted him
and his world view. Thus, to honor his
memory and perpetuate his ideals,the Chris Belfoure Memorial Fund has been established at the Community Foundation of Middlesex County. The proceeds
from the RUN FOR CHRIS go directly to these causes.
