Wilbraham & Monson Academy’s Run Against Hunger

Wilbraham & Monson Academy is excited to announce that we will be participating in Run Against Hunger’s first-ever Run-A-Thon from home from April 20-26. Run Against Hunger’s goal is to combat food insecurity caused by school closures of the COVID-19 crisis through running. All funds will go directly to No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit organization helping schools and community groups feed kids while schools are closed.

Our runners & broader community would greatly appreciate your support in pledging to donate per mile or making one flat donation. Any donation helps!

For example, if you pledge $0.25 and we run 100 miles during the Run-A-Thon, you’ll donate $25 to No Kid Hungry, which is equivalent to 250 meals.

During this Run-A-Thon, we hope to help decrease the number of meals missed. It is currently projected that students will miss over half a million meals due to school closures caused by COVID-19. With your help, I believe we can run down that number.

Thank you so much for your support and stay healthy!

All running during this Run-A-Thon will follow local, state and federal social distancing guidelines!
