2022 FALL BLAST 5K WRAP-UP

We were so honored on Saturday October 1st to have the support of so many community members for the 19th Annual Fall Blast 5K . Despite the rainy forecast, we got lucky and the rain held off for most of the morning!  Thank you to all our sponsors, participants and volunteers for your support this morning. We are beyond excited to tally the results and report the total raised for Bench Mark Program, an amazing community organization helping at risk youth right here, in Lancaster County! We will be announcing those final numbers on Friday, November 11th! Stay tuned!
