Superior Fun Run with Coach Kohuth

Today is the last day to register to be a part of the Mitzvah Maniacs fundraising team at the Donor Dash 5K at Wash Park on Sunday, July 16 at 8am.

This is the 6th year that the Scudamore family has organized a fundraising team, the Mitzvah Maniacs, to raise funds for worthy causes in the community. This year, we are bringing our energies to the Donor Alliance, which supports organ transplantation. This is especially personal to us as Coach Scudamore’s father received a kidney and pancreas transplant, which extended his life by 15 years. We are thrilled to support the Donor Alliance and their ongoing work.

Parents welcome too. You can  REGISTER HERE, select JOIN A TEAM, and choose MITZVAH MANIACS (or use this link:

https://www.donoralliance.org/get-involved/outreach-programs/donor-dash/registration )

If cost is prohibitive but you want to join, let Jennifer know and we will work something out.

Once you join the team, email Jennifer (jareich424@gmail.com) to let her know and she will put aside a team t-shirt for you. She will also get your packet and materials for you.)

We hope you can make it!
