9/11 5K Memorial Run/Walk and Family Day, April 21st
On April 21, 2013, the 9/11 Memorial will host a 5K Run/Walk and Family Day to raise awareness about the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and to encourage volunteerism. The 5K is 3.1 miles.
All funds raised through your participation in the 9/11 Memorial Run/Walk and Family Day will support the 9/11 Memorial and 9/11 Memorial Museum.
The Run/Walk and Family Day will take place in lower Manhattan, taking participants on a historic route passing important places that are part of the 9/11 story. The route will also symbolize how we came together to support one another in the aftermath of 9/11.
The date of the Run/Walk and Family Day – April 21 – marks the anniversary President Barack Obama signed into law legislation making 9/11 a day of service and volunteerism in the memory of the victims of the 2001 attacks.
Please register by April 2, 2013 for discounted early registration fees.
Many have been affected by 9/11, including Blanca Garcia, sister of Helen Garcia who lost her life on 9/11. Visit http://grouprev.com/inmemoryofhelen to participate in her team walk and/or donate to the cause.
Encourage volunteerism. #SupportUnites
