Last year, in 2021, an outstanding field of runners, walkers, baby joggers, and 3-person teams once again participated in raising money for the Jonathan Evans Memorial Fund, the proceeds of which benefit local families with serious children’s medical needs. It began in 1991 to help the family of Jonathan Evans of Peru, NY with the financial demands of his cancer treatment.
The course runs through 2.5 miles of beautiful rolling Forrence Orchards in Peru, NY. The walk portion of the event is roughly 1 mile and there is a short, 1/2 mile fun run for kids. The event attracts approximately 300 participants each year and raises over $4,000.
For more information about the event, visit http://www.runforjon.org.
Direct donations and sponsorships are gladly accepted. We try to cover all operating expenses before race day so that all entry fees will go directly into the Fund. There are four levels of sponsorship: MacIntosh ($750+), Gala ($250-749). Empire ($100-249) and Honeycrisp ($50-99).
We are also seeking items and/or gift certificates to be donated for our fan-favorite prize give-a-way that is held before the award ceremony.
