5th Annual Autism Hearts 5K


Autism Hearts is holding their 5th Annual Walk and 5K Run (new this year) on Sunday May 19th, 2013 at 10:30 am at the Athens Area High School.

Website: http://www.autismhearts.org/

About Autism Hearts:
We are a grass roots non-profit 501(c)3 corporation begun by parents and professionals who volunteer  their  time  to help families in our community affected by autism.

Autism Hearts was founded after our group held the first ever Valley Walk for Autism on April 5th, 2008.  It was a huge success, raising over $8000.00.

Fueled by that success and our desire to help families in our own community, Autism Hearts was born. The organization is still in the infancy stage, but learning to crawl and will be toddling soon!

We are continuously developing new ideas for improvement.  Our goal is to become a primary source of education to our community and a consistent source of support to those families living with Autism.

Jean and Pete Onofre Memorial 5K

UPDATE: Race Photos by Amey Johnson

The Jean and Pete Onofre Memorial Family Event
Event:
5K Run/Walk; Mile Memory Walk; Kids Fun Run
April 13th, 2013- Registration from 8:30-9:30; Events at 10!
Online pre-race registration and day of event registration will take place.
Pre-registration begins March 1st and will continue until April 6thth.
Why:
Peter Onofre succumbed to lung cancer on April 16, 1990. He was 47. He left behind his loving wife, Jean, and their three children: Mark (12), David (9), and Maryellen (5). Nineteen years later, Jean passed away from breast cancer on April 24, 2009. Cancer affects millions of people every year and this family is determined to join in the fight against cancer so that other families may be spared the heartache that they have become all too familiar with.
Proceeds:
All donations and proceeds are split between the local Nancy Quatrini Fund and the American Lung Association and the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Purpose:
This event’s mission is to help those within our community get the care that they might otherwise not be able to afford, as well as contribute to the research devoted to curing various types of cancer. Cancer is not picky; it affects EVERYONE no matter age, race, or religion. This event is meant to raise funds to fight cancer and bring a community together.
This is something that the Onofre family would like to turn into an annual event.
Needs of Donations:
Donations are welcome and will be used as designated. For example, cancer funds or food/drinks for participants or any costs to host event.
Donations can be picked up if desired. Just call ahead.
