P-CCS 10th Annual SJ5K Race Is Virtual

Press release from Plymouth-Canton Schools:

Post Date:04/14/2020 9:05 AM

Student leaders have been hard at work since March 13th thinking not about whether they would still be able to help the families they selected to be honored by this 10th anniversary, but HOW they could do it.

They know that this school and community event will not be the same without gathering in the bleachers at the football stadium, but our students are committed to making it just as awesome an event as it moves online and into your home.

The SJ5K is a benefit 5k run that started in 2011 after P-CEP student Jesse Lindlbauer experienced a life-altering brain injury. 2020 marks the tenth year of the Super Jess 5k, a student-led race in the Plymouth-Canton community.

Since the first race, the SJ5K has raised over half a million dollars for 40 Plymouth-Canton families going through a medical crisis. This year’s race will be helping five more families in our community and the 10th Annual SJ5K is going virtual!

Pledge to run, walk, or bike the Virtual SJ5K anytime and anywhere between Sunday, May 3rd and Sunday, May 10th!

Join us on Sunday, May 3, 2020 at 8 a.m. for a digital ceremony to kickoff this year’s race and honor the 2020 families!
Listen to the “live” event on 88.1 The Park.

Visit the SJ5K website (http://www.sj5k.org/) to learn about the race, how to enter and to learn about the five families who will be helped this year.

Thank you for supporting our cause — Even virtually, we can RUN AS ONE!
