Many friends and family have made Mother’s Day morning with the Women’s Fund Tiara 5K their annual tradition. A scenic course, festive t-shirts, music and kids activities draw an enthusiastic crowd. Through the efforts of these runners and walkers and many generous sponsors, the Women’s Fund Tiara 5K has become the largest fundraising activity of the Women’s Fund, as well as its signature event. Last year’s event attracted close to 1,000 participants and raised over $40,000. Join us now and register at www.womensfundtiara5k.com. Registration is $20 for the 5K and $5 for the kid’s fun run. Starting May 1, 5K registration increases to $30, so register early. T-shirts will be provided to the first 300 5K registrants.
The mission of the Women’s Fund at the Community Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts is to advance the educational attainment and economic security of women and girls in Southeastern MA. Organized by a committed “Tiara Team” of volunteers, the Women’s Fund Tiara 5K began seven years ago to offer women and their families the opportunity to engage in a philanthropic, family friendly, Mother’s Day activity on a day that celebrates women and motherhood. Revenue from the Tiara 5K will support all Women’s Fund activities.
Celebrate Mother’s Day in a different way this year. No breakfast in bed. No sleeping in. Instead, wrap around Ned’s Point lighthouse with your family and loved ones in Mattapoisett at the 8th Annual Women’s Fund Tiara 5K. You don’t have to clock your fastest time – just the best time with those you love!
