SPONSOR GUESTS PAGE - YWCA Princeton VIRTUAL Firecracker 5K

Join us for a Virtual Firecracker 5K: Wednesday June 1 through Wednesday June 15. Proceeds benefit YWCA Princeton in our mission to Eliminate Racism and Empower Women. Our programs are designed to address the byproducts of inequity: affordability and accessibility. These include The Burke Foundation Early Childhood Center at YWCA Princeton, Breast Cancer Resource Center, English as a Second Language, and much more!

Participants will complete the 5K at their own pace between Wednesday, June 1 and Wednesday, June 15. We recommend using a site like: https://onthegomap.com/#/create to layout a 5K course in your own neighborhood. Those wishing to compete for fastest runner may enter their time results. Instructions are below.

Cost: As an employee of the sponsored organization, your registration is free. Our overall fundraising goal for the 2022 Firecracker is $20,000--your support is critical in helping us reach our goal! This website allows you to create your own page and share on social media. It's as easy as asking 5 friends for $10! Join the fun for a good cause.

T-shirts: All participants who register will receive a t-shirt. Distribution will be at YWCA Princeton location only. T-shirts will not be mailed. Distribution times and dates will be communicated by staff.

Kickoff: Participants will receive a recorded video message from our CEO, Tay Walker, on Wednesday, June 1st.

Awards: We will give a medal for: Fastest 5K runner, Furthest Distance runner; Highest Individual Fundraiser, and Highest Team Fundraiser.
