NEW THIS YEAR! The East Pete Community Day 5K is supporting the Joy Among Mourning (JAM) Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to bringing hope, healing, and joy to those experiencing loss.
JAM was established in memory of Andrew Wagner, a Hempfield High School graduate whose life was tragically cut short in an automobile accident on July 18, 2010. In Andrew’s honor, his family is committed to keeping his memory alive by bringing people together to create moments of joy, laughter, and connection while giving back to those in need.
Andrew had a unique gift for brightening the lives of others. He was always smiling, joking, and making people feel welcome. Through this event, we strive to carry forward that same spirit of joy and community.
The East Pete Day 5K helps transform grief into purpose by bringing people together and raising funds for causes that are meaningful to Andrew’s family and our community.
Proceeds will benefit:
1. Hempfield High School graduates pursuing higher education
2. The Dravet Syndrome Foundation
3. 521 Club, Inc.
