PELHAM, NH – From 9am-2pm on Saturday, June 2nd, St. Patrick’s School in Pelham is going to be hosing its tenth annual 5K road race and family fun day to benefit the school.

“It’s great to come together with the community to share some fun family time!” Claims Donna Caouette, a RE/MAX Prestige agent who is helping to run the event. Donna will also be running the craft fair, which is aimed to entertain the younger crowd. There will also be a rubber duck race, music, and plenty of diverse food for everyone in your family!

Last year, the event raised over $12,000 for the St. Patrick’s School, and they aim to surpass that mark this year. RE/MAX Prestige is assisting the runners of the 5K by helping to pay for the shirts and socks that each runner receives. Though there is no website for the event, we highly encourage you to visit Donna and RE/MAX Prestige at the event! See you there!

LOWELL, MA – On May 5^th, Community Christian Academy (CCA) in Lowell hosted their third annual 5K River Run and Family Fun Day.  People from all over the Lowell area are welcome to participate in the event, which benefits and takes place at the academy, and to participate in both the USATF-certified run and the family and following food festival.

Last year, RE/MAX Prestige donated $500, sported the company’s PT Cruiser, and – of course – handed out plenty of RE/MAX balloons, along with being represented by agent Shirley Cunico at the Brazilian barbeque stand at the family fun day after the run.

“To work for a company that supports what is important to their agents is a blessing,” said Cunico, whose children attend CCA.  “Before being a realtor, I’m a mother, and children’s education is a priority in every parent’s heart, having RE/MAX Prestige sponsoring my kids’ school’s annual fundraiser gives me one more reason to love working there.”

For more information on the event, visit their website at www.ccariverrun.org.  We look forward to seeing you there!
