5k Run for Mental Health and Wellness

Come join the New Lenox School District 122 PTO, Wellness Committee and New Lenox Safe Community Coalition in supporting Mental Health and Wellness by participating in a 5K Run/Walk for Mental Health and Wellness event.  Start your day by walking or running the 5K and stay for the Wellness Fair. The Wellness Fair will include businesses from the surrounding areas that can aide in mental, physical and nutritional wellness as well as self-care.  Enjoy the family oriented activities and purchase some fabulous food from the food Trucks while you are there.

This is a non-profit event.  All proceeds and donations will be evenly presented to 2 nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations; New Lenox School District 122 Wellness Committee and New Lenox School District 122 PTO.  The proceeds will assist in promoting social emotional learning amongst the students, staff and community.

Donations are a great way to support the cause even if you can’t take part in the event. 
Support mental health and wellness for the surrounding communities and New Lenox Schools by making a donation today.
