AYLUS Basking Ridge Branch Partner with Semper Fi supported Good Grief 5k fundraising event. Since 2004, Good Grief has been providing unlimited and free support to children, teens, young adults, and families after the death of a mother, father, sister, or brother through peer support programs, education, and advocacy. 5k Run and Walk is the biggest fundraising event of Good Grief. This year, about a 500 people participate in the event.
Besides the fundraising, our members arrived at the site really early in the morning and helped with sorting the flyers, preparing the runner tag, seting up the event table, preparing the food/snacks and seting up the event signs on the field. After the set-up, our members assigned into water station, Course Guard, and kids activities. The members in the water station prepared the cups for the runner and kept filling the cups and passing the water to the runner/walker and cheered them up. The members Course Guard greeted and cheered up the runners/walkers. The volunteers at the kids activities entertained the kids with tatoos, stickers, bobbles and other fun stuff. All the volunteers helped and stayed until the end of the event and helped with cleanup. The team raised about $32, 000 out of total $86,681 for Good Grief and all this fund will be used to support families in need.
