On May 2, more than 70 runners, walkers and ruckers participated in the inaugural WAY 5K. Organizers plan to make the event an annual spring fundraiser benefiting the WAY Community Center.
Ella Courtwright and Logan Shields, members of the West Greene National Honor Society, coordinated the Chinese auction. With support from local businesses, more than 25 themed baskets were donated, raising additional funds for the event.
The 5K committee included Sandy Wilson, Matt Brandstretter, Julia Ann Smith, Beth Hinerman, Melissa St. Giles and Dawn Mankey. Volunteers Pam Marisa, Seth Wilson and Jay Buckhulter also assisted on race day.
The WAY is a faith-based nonprofit organization in Waynesburg that serves individuals and families through community programs, outreach initiatives and events designed to promote connection, wellness and positive impact throughout the region.
The Event Sponsors were Direct Results, Fox Ford, JD Enterprises, DT Midstream, Waynesburg Bible Chapel, Fairall Church, Hoy Construction Co. Inc., and Fierce Beauty Studio.
