USATF CERTIFIED COURSE!
100% of the proceeds from this race are donated to the Cresskill Health and Wellness Foundation, the Cresskill Board of Health, in partnership with the Badges and Books Relief Project. These funds will be used to develop programs to ultimately improve the health and wellness of the residents of Cresskill. Funds will also be used to benefit the Cresskill Public Schools and local Non-Profit Health and Wellness organizations. The Board of Health is partnering with Badges and Books Relief Project, a local group of first responders, teachers & DPW members supporting local families dealing with extraordinary obstacles.
The mission of Badges & Books Relief Project (BBRF) is exclusively for charitable purposes and specifically to provide assistance to families within Bergen County, New Jersey who have suffered a crisis and are in need. The organization will focus on aiding families affected by medical issues, economic issues, domestic violence issues, catastrophe such as fire or home damage, or any other related issues. BBRF will provide holiday gifts to children in need, funds for essential items after an incident which would deprive a family of housing, and other types of assistance when a family is in need. Families are identified and vetted before assistance is provided to ensure funds will be used appropriately. https://www.badgesandbooks.org/
