Community Access Unlimited Walk-a-thon and Fun Run

Join Community Access Unlimited for a day of fun, food and music at Community Access Unlimited’s 13th Annual Ira Geller Memorial Walk-a-thon and 1-Mile Fun Run on Saturday, Sept. 24, at Rahway River Park. Registration begins at 11 a.m., with the official start of the walk/run at noon. A picnic and other festivities will immediately follow. All proceeds will benefit people with special needs in achieving real lives in the community. This year’s fundraiser aims to raise $40,000 through corporate sponsorships, walk team contributions, and the generous donations of individuals throughout the community. Each walker and runner is asked to raise $100.
