Local businesses and families also donate gift certificates, experiences,  goods and cash as prizes for a raffle and silent auction and raffle (more info here).

All proceeds from the event benefit programs for the Wellesley Community Children’s Center, which was established in 1971 to provide childcare for area families.

    The Fun Run is such a fun event for kids and adults (silent auction!!). And, it supports one of our community gems! We can’t wait for Saturday.
