Event proceeds benefit Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos Mexico and the Mixteco children in their care. Ten percent of children at NPH Mexico come from small communities located in the mountains of Guerrero where the indigenous Mixteco people live, isolated from government support and with an increasing state of violence in recent years.
According to a recent Mexican census, the Mixteco are the second poorest community in the country and the children who come to NPH from this community often are suffering from malnutrition. Your support will make a lasting difference in these vulnerable children’s lives!
“Bringing hope and dignity into the lives of those who feel hopeless and rejected is one of the most noble and inspiring tasks to which we can dedicate our lives.”
– Fr. Wasson, Founder, NPH.

The 23rd annual Dudley Pond Fun Run will be held Sunday, September 22. Proceeds benefit the Dudley Pond Association’s efforts to preserve the quality of Dudley Pond and fight invasive pondweeds. There are four events for all ages and abilities: a 5-kilometer race sanctioned by USA Track & Field, a 2-mile competitive walk, a kids’ race, and a non-competitive fitness walk.
Sylvia Greene of Passion to Move will lead the fitness walk starting at 9 a.m. It will be followed by the kids’ fun run at 10:30 a.m. and at 11 a.m. by the 5-kilometer race and the 2-mile competitive walk.
The new earlier times will make it convenient for more people to participate. And it’s cooler and more comfortable for runners and walkers earlier in the day.
With advance registration, the fee is $6 for the kids’ fun run and $20 for all other events. Preregister as a member of a running or walking team of five or more and pay just $18. On race day, the fee is $8 for kids, $25 for adults.
