23rd Annual FAM 5K “Fund” Run/Walk for Charity Set for September 24

FAM Funds, a mutual fund company with shareholders nationwide, announces its 23rd Annual FAM 5K “Fund” Run/Walk for Charity to be held on Saturday, September 24 at 10 a.m. at the Cobleskill Fairgrounds, South Grand Street, Cobleskill. The event will benefit the Schoharie County Community Action Program.

Each year the proceeds from the race are donated to one of five different local charities on a rotating basis: Catholic Charities of Delaware, Otsego, and Schoharie Counties; Catskill Area Hospice and Palliative Care; Schoharie County ARC; Schoharie County Community Action Program; and Cobleskill Regional Hospital (Bassett Healthcare Network). For the past several years, the FAM 5K has donated about $20,000 annually.

“We continue this fall event because these local charities rely on our support. Our goal is to help raise awareness about each organization while providing financial resources,” said Race Director Peter Sweetser. Since the event’s inception in 1994, the FAM 5K’s mission has been to endorse and promote the qualities of family, good health, and service to the community.

Also enjoy post-race refreshments, a kids’ run, entertainment galore, community booths, music, door prizes, massage therapists and delicious Brooks’ BBQ.
