Charity Information

This race is hosted by Princeton Community Hospital Volunteer Association. It is the sole fundraiser for our SIDS Awareness Safe SleepSack Program. All funds raised by this event are used to purchase Safe SleepSacks to be given to every newborn baby delivered at Princeton Community Hospital. We also educate mothers of newborn babies on the dangers and reality of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and encourages them to incorporate the use of the Safe SleepSack during the care of their babies. 

Beautiful little Macey Whittaker was born May 19, 2010 at The Women’s Center at Princeton Community Hospital. Three months later she was a tragic victim of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). To honor Macey’s memory and to celebrate the lives of all children who were lost to SIDS and other infant deaths, Macey’s parents Emilie and Garret Whittaker, along with the PCH Auxiliary proudly announce the Annual Macey Whittaker SIDS Awareness 5K Walk/Run.
