On June 25th, 2005 the
second annual Race 4 Freedom 5K run will “take off” from Immaculata
High School onto the historic streets
of Somerville, New Jersey.
Last year on June 26th runners and walkers took their
position in front of Immaculata
High School, balanced and
waiting for the sound of “George Washington’s” musket that would signal the
start of this inaugural “Race for Freedom”; the freedom to allow all people,
regardless of economic background, the choice of a Catholic education. 100% of the proceeds from the Race 4 Freedom
provided the resources necessary to offer financial need based tuition
assistance to qualified students seeking to enter Immaculata as well as current
students. Through this race we invite,
inspire and challenge alumni, school families past and present, parishioners,
runners and members of the community to join us in our ongoing mission to raise
sufficient funds providing all children the opportunity to choose a Catholic
education.
