Bunny Hop Fun Run In Manahawkin To Benefit Family Promise

MANAHAWKIN, NJ — Ready to walk for a good cause? Family Promise of the Jersey Shore, formerly known as Family Promise of Southern Ocean County, is co-hosting with Stafford Township Mayor Gregory Myhre the Bunny Hop 5K Fun Run and Walk at the Stafford Township Municipal Complex.

The fun run, set for April 2, is part of the Mayor's Wellness Campaign and raises money for Family Promise.

“At the Bunny Hop 5K Fun Run and Walk, the community can come together to get active and learn about the impacts of homelessness here in Ocean County and how they can help. Community support is imperative to our mission,” said Elizabeth Golla, Executive Director of Family Promise of the Jersey Shore. All proceeds from the event will benefit Family Promise of the Jersey Shore's mission and prevention programs, helping local families facing economic hardships stay in their homes.

Walk and Run participants have the opportunity to set individual fundraising goals in support of Family Promise of the Jersey Shore. Sponsorship opportunities are also available starting at $50.

“Please consider offering your support, whether it is through a financial donation, sponsorship, running or walking, or volunteering at the event. Each person makes a difference in the battle against homelessness,” said Golla.

Fun Run and Walk registration and packet pick up begins at 8 a.m. on April 2 at the Stafford Township Municipal Complex located at 260 East Bay Avenue in Manahawkin. A registration fee of $35 is required to participate in both the Fun Run and Walk. To register, donate or become a sponsor, visit: https://www.raceforum.com/event/346390/sign-up.
