Charity Information
This race is hosted by the Princeton Community Hospital Volunteer Association. It is the sole fundraiser for our SIDS Awareness / Safe Sleep Sack Program. All funds raised by this event are used to purchase Safe Sleep Sacks to be given to every newborn baby delivered at Princeton Community Hospital. We also educate mothers of new born babies on the dangers and reality of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and encourage them to incorporate the use of the Safe Sleep Sack in their care of their babies. Since the inception of this program a little over a year ago, we have given out over 900 Safe Sleep Sacks – now that’s a lot of babies!!
More Information
During the threat of COVID-19 we want to keep everyone informed about what is going on. The safety and well-being of our community is our top priority. With that being said, the CDC has recommended that gatherings of 50 or more people be cancelled that would have taken place within the next 8 weeks. Unfortunately, the Macey Whittaker 5K Walk/Run was going to be held within that timeframe. After discussion with all parties involved, we have decided to go ahead and cancel this event for this year.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your understanding with this matter.
We will see you next year!
