5K Nov. 9 for Israeli Red Cross

The inaugural Princeton CJL Charity 5K Run/Walk will take place on Nov. 9. The event, sponsored by the Princeton University Center for Jewish Life (CJL), will benefit Magen David Adom (MDA), the Israeli Red Cross. The race is co-sponsored by the American Red Cross of the Princeton University Student Volunteers Council. The run/walk begins at 10 a.m. at the CJL, 70 Washington Road (corner of Ivy Lane), Princeton. The USATF-certified 5K course uses residential Princeton streets and the D&R Canal towpath. There will be awards for the top three male and female finishers as well as a free post-race brunch for all participants.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to Magen David Adom, which provides Israel’s pre-hospital emergency medical needs, including disaster, ambulance and blood services. It is a national humanitarian service that treats every person in every location within Israel, regardless of race, religion or ethnicity.
